How about the rest of the specs (e.g. PSU, RAM, etc).

^ like he said, it's hard to give suggestions without knowing PSU at the very least. Don't want to suggest and upgrade that your PSU doesn't even have power for.

If this is your motherboard. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_CPU...
You will need to update the BIOS if needed to 1006. Buy a FX 6300 processor and overclock it up to about 4.5 to get the stink out (this will take a decent aftermarket CPU cooler)
You have no memory listed you need 8GB not 4 BF4 has some memory leakage.
You also never listed the monitor resolution this is very important for picking a video card but in general a GTX 760 without all the eye candy turned on will get you 60 FPS @ 1080p resolution in BF4 the other game takes less so that is not talked about here.
For the parts list above I would use a good quality 550 Watt PSU (min) as above you made no mention of that.

I recommend just upgrading the whole build or build a new one. You could reuse some parts like the case.

Do you have a budget?

You can upgrade the CPU to a FX-6300. And the graphics card maybe an R7 card.
