My specs are

Processor: Amd phenom II X4 955 3.20GHz (4 CPUS)

RAM: 12 GB (DDR 2)

Operating system Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 430

MotherBoard- ECS A790GXM-AD3

Power Supply: COUGAR A-Series A760 (CGR B3-760) 760W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80


I want to upgrade my graphics card but I guess I need to get a new motherboard new ram and a new processor but I want it to be under 600$ but preferable I would like run Battle Field 4 on ultra graphics and Arma 3 at 60fps.. I don't know if thats possible in this price range but I could go up in price a little bit. Much appreciated.

And I've asked this question before I got a good response for parts I should use http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dmT8bv . Are those powerful enough parts to run at what I want? Thanks

This is more powerful and overclockable. Overclocking will help with FPS in Arma as it's a CPU intensive game.
