First my current setup:
CPU: Intel i3-3220
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M micro-ATX LGA 1155
Memory: 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333mHz Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon 7870 2GB
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B 80PLUS Bronze Certified
I have mainly been playing BF4 lately, it is very CPU-intensive with the 64 player matches and my computer is not strong enough to run a consistent 60 FPS even on all low settings at 1080p. The main thing I want to upgrade is my CPU and I am trying to decide between the i5-3570k, i5-4670k, and whatever Broadwell i5 comes out later this year.
So my question is, should I get the i5-3570k or upgrade my motherboard to a LGA 1150 for a Haswell/Broadwell i5
And as a side-note is my 8GB of Ram worth upgrading to a faster 8GB or 16GB of Ram?
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
