Seeking small upgrade on system

[heavyarms39]

Hi everyone,

Looking to upgrade my system at the moment since BF3 coming out next week.

My system isn't the greatest so I'd like to just get a decent performance boost.

My current setup is:
-1920x1080p
-AMD A8-3850 CPU overclocked to 3.2GHz
-ASUS F1A75-M PRO MOBO
-XFX RADEON 6670
-G.SKILL 2x2GB 1333MHz
-CORSAIR 600w PSU
-CM TX3 CPU cooler
-ANTEC 300

I ran BF3 Beta 35 FPS outside on 1366x768 resolution, about 55fps inside.

If I upgraded to an overclocked radeon 6850 card:

AND

G.Skill Sniper 2x4GB 1600MHz:

Will I be looking at better fps rates at a higher resolution with these two items?

The 6850 will give the biggest improvement. I doubt BF3 will use more than 2-3GB of RAM.

Thank you for that suggestion for the ram. Any other details about the GPU anyone can input?

I would say get the RAM as well I like to keep gaming PCs at 6-8GB RAM but thats personal preference. Besides that what you have already stated would work good. I'm not too good with PSU figures but I would double check to make sure yours will still be able to work after adding the new parts
