Hello,

Want to upgrade my system. I have Pentium G2030, Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3, Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3, OCZ ATX 2.2 CoreXStream 500W, Sapphire HD7770. So my idea was to upgrade to Xeon 1240 v2 but I can't find this CPU in the supported CPU list in Gigabyte site for that Mobo. However, in some forums I find that it is fine - has somebody had any experience with this mobo and cpu combo?

Another question - what should I upgrade if I want to play BF4? The issue is that it loads painfully slow the levels/maps when launched - is it CPU, HDD, RAM issue?

Thanks in advance.
