I see that you only have 4GB of RAM. BF4 at high settings wants 8GB of RAM. 4GB is actually very bare minimum for games of today. I would suggest putting in an extra 4GB of RAM or even more since games soon will want more then 8GB of RAM.

Right now is a good time to buy RAM kits also since almost everywhere they are on sale.

Okay I will try that, but I have a feeling it wont make that much of a difference, my memory is running at around 90 percent while playing.

Actually it will probably make a world of difference:

The video is of COD: Advanced Warfare but same concept.

You should definitely upgrade to 8GB of RAM if you intend to game. When you do upgrade, get a 8GB kit and discard/sell your current RAM. That way you won't run into any potential memory errors.
