So if i upgrade to a AMD FX 8320 and 8GB what frames could i maybe get on high not ulra
 
Oh no, it will run the game no issue. It will struggle at higher settings, but it will run.

It would be about 60 on high, 45 on ultra with some settings lowered on the 8320. Its hard to tell, as everyone runs it different, but that would be a good bet.

As long as it will run at about 40-45 on high i will be happy not bothered about having ultra.its just i dont want to buy the parts and it does not run at all.At the moment i run BF4 online at 25 fraps but was told because my ram was only 4 gb that was why.Is there going to be a big jump from 4300 to the 8320
 
Its a bit of both, you could use more ram, but thats not going to increase FPS much, the new processor will have a larger impact.
You should get those frames on those settings fairly easily. Most people who dont know much about computers assume a ram upgrade magically makes your system better, which is true only if you are maxing out the memory.

so i will buy the processor and ram and setup will look like this
Windows 7 64 Ultimate
AMD FX 8320
Gigabyte R9 270x 2GB
8GB Ram
500 GB Hard drive
I can finally play bf4 at good setting and frames. Let me know if theres anything u may think i could change
 
well you have a decent setup for playing modern games including bf4 no problem .you are good to go u have not mentioned about the psu.....a good 500 watt psu is enough for u ...plus u will aslo need an aftermarket cooler like coolermaster hyper 212 evo for the processor ...
