Monitor: BenQ xl2411t (1920x1080@144Hz)

I mainly play BF and am wanting to add some more juice to my gaming. Can I have some advice on what components to upgrade?.

Not true, maybe elaborate ?

780 for smooth 60 fps at ultra yes the 670 can play the game but it it will never hit more than 50 fps on ultra at that res even 50 is to much.

an ssd. load levels quicker. that's about it.

try running the monitor at 120. see if there's a difference.

Yeah, I cap the frames in-game to 120 to get better performance. As you mentioned, levels take awhile to load in, frustrating.

I never play at ultra, I always custom change in-game settings to get best performance/visual balance. I currently average between 100-120 fps but when there's alot going on in-game, the fps can drop to as low as 70fps. Plus it also depends on certain maps as some hit performance harder than others.

you can get a 512 SSD for a really good price now. no reason to run a platter drive any more. transfer files(image disc)/format hard drive/use it for storage.
