Upgrading my pc before bf4 hits the shelves.

[Striker235]

Hi i'm thinking of upgrading my pc for the upcoming bf4 launch.

could you guys help me out as to what i need to replace in my current build?

except gpu ( changing that one anyway, just need advice on prices/power)

Specs:

Running on a BenQ 24" LED GL2450 (1920x1080 res)


Mobo: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77, Socket-1155

Ram: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Elite 1600Mhz 4GB

Cpu: Intel® Core i5-3570K Processor

Gpu: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 580 3072MB AMP2! ®

Psu: 700W corsair.

Hdd: 120 gb v300 kingston, and Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB


What i need help with is advice on an upgrade that's cheap in terms of performance gain, i have been considering the 700 series of nvidia but the 780 price is ridiculous.

budget: 900$ (preferrably lower if cost/performance gain starts to drop)

any help is appreciated

PS: 60 fps is really important to me, my eyes hurt if the game laggs :| still, if it's not achieveable, ill just lower settings

I picked amd because i feel like this combo is amazing for the price.

More PSU isn't necessary until you run sli or crossfire.

If the 3570k is overclocked it is a good processor still and you won't see a performance improvement over a fx-8350 at all.. I'd just upgrade your graphics card to the best you can afford
