What PSU you have brand and model ?

Decent GPU in this price:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MSI-Radeon-6770-Graphics-card-MDIGDG5-R6770-/221836694019?hash=item33a67f5203

And this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMD-radeon-R7-240-/221836696345?hash=item33a67f5b19

Both in auction try grab under your price limit first is 3 times more powerful that second on both you can play in BF3 ~60Fps

How much this PSU have on 12V line ?
Check label

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

+12Vcpu 12V +5.08Vaux
And my pc is a HP Compaq dc7700p Small Form Factor Idk if some cards wont fit

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

hm almost forget 6670 requires also 6 pins power connector your PSU will not have this for sure you only chose is R7 240 or buy better PSU :/

madmatt30 · Aug 1, 2015

It has 11.5a for the cpu & by the look of it 7.5a for the supplementary 12v.
Max 12v total of 216w.

A gt 730 or r7 240 are just about safe to run - nothing higher powered than those though.

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

To me the AMD radeon R7 240 Doesn't Look Low-end and maybe to big for my pc the part were the Hdmi/Vga ect look more then 4 inch in width

madmatt30 · Aug 1, 2015

^ that 240 as new comes with 2 different backplates - a standard one (in the picture) & a low profile one which can be fitted instead (the VGA cable unplugs from the card)

You would have to enquire if he still has the lp bracket for it.

Ok
Im Going to ask my parents if i could do some more stuff to get some extra Money and buy a Brand New One

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

But your CPU can be issue what you have ?

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz (2 CPUs), ~1.9GHz
is my cpu im thinking on saving up for a somthing more powerfull if needed

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

For BF4 Single mode will be ok but for Multilayer you probably you will have some FPS dips.
You can always try apply some Overclock

This old CPU can be OC nicely

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

And thats the day i will kil my pc if i dont look it up XD time to look at overclocking tut
Umm Some people say that my Motherboard will stop overclocking

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

But you need remember Overcloking needs Good PSU, Mobo, CPU cooling ect, and controlling CPU temps

But pushing your CPU a bit example to around 2,1Ghz probably will not require to much

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

i think im going to wait for the overclocking until my graphic card comes and then ill be able to see how much power i will have left on my psu so i dont push it to far

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

Check what motherboard you have, you can use this and check in motherboard tab http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
Maybe you motherboard can support a better CPUs, and LGA 775 CPUs can be buy very cheap from ebay or other auction sites.

John James Walker :

25 quids for a GPU? I don't think you can get very much for 25 quids...

John James Walker · Aug 1, 2015

DeathRabit :

Yeah im looking right now i have the Hewlett Packerd 0A54h as a mother board

madmatt30 · Aug 1, 2015

Just checked
Overckocking - NO

Itll take a e6700 2.66ghz though ,30% performance increase & they're less than a tenner on eBay.

DeathRabit · Aug 1, 2015

About OC on your motherboard this is most liekly not possible, to confirm this you need enter to bios *(press F1/F2 or Del when PC starts) also check maybe this have hidden options try in bios press Ctrl + F1 / F2 and check if you can adjust FSB(BLCK)

Max supported CPU by your motherboard is E6700 * is around 40% faster
