Unless you have a fake, you are using a "regular" R7 260x. Your FPS are what you can expect considering your CPU. You won't get much better no matter what GPU you use. If someone claims "great" FPS using an Athlon 5330, they are lying. You can expect around 30fps depending on the game, your resolution, and your settings. I looked up a video of BF4 made using a similar setup. It was better than a slideshow, but not by much. FPS looked like they were in the 20s and lower.

60fps would be possible with a decent CPU: my estimate tries to account for the low power CPU.

Also, compared to the rest of the system 4GB of RAM is not holding anything back. Only a few games require more than 4GB of RAM to run at low/medium settings and they wouldn't run at all on this system regardless of how much RAM there was.
