Battlefield 4 with these specs?

[MAC20]

currently i have a pc build with a i3-4130 Haswell CPU and a MSI GTX 660 2GB GPU. Ive been playin FFXIV and every now and then AC:Blackflag, TC:Splinter Cell Blacklist and NBA 2k14 on highest setting based off Nvidias GeForce Experience Optimal settings. Im looking into getting BF4 and i want to know if my specs will run it. I will be upgrading my CPU and GPU depending on which i will need 1st and im thinking CPU. Heres what ill be buying:

i5-4570 Haswell GPU and a GTX 760 2GB GPU (either MSI or EVGA)

Please provide some input. Thanks.

Yes the quad core CPU should be the first upgrade since it is a lot better than your i3 and the difference between the GTX 660 to 760 is not that significant.

thanks thats what i was going for just wanted to be sure. the 660 is MSI OC version and i can usually get a few more core clock and memory clock stats out of it when i do a overclock with afterburner but i figured the CPU was my limitation here.

It is better to upgrade to GTX 770 because the difference between GTX 660 and 760 is not worth if you ask me.

 

[MAC20]

ok. Thanks. im going to upgrade the CPU 1st cause i can atleast get by with the 660 OC GPU for the time.

should run fine, im currently running a gtx 570 wich is a series behind, able to play battlefield 4 at ultra at around 40-70fps depending on the map. it should run fine for you.

Yeah I would go for the i5.

If you board supports SLI, then you might consider another 660. 2x 660 will outperform a 770 and could work out cheaper as you already have one.

i have a mini ITX mobo thats in a cooler master elite 120 case. the mini ITX mobo only supports one pci 2.0 16x slot and i choose that for the HTPC look. so no sli for me only one card support.

Cool. Best to go for that i5 then.

also meant to mention the reason for the upgrades are due to streaming on TWITCH and recoding game play via Nvidia Shadow play. I havent had any issues thus far but i can see FPS drops in the future from cpu hungry games. but i do appreciate the help with the decision. ive decided to go with the i5-4670K cause i found it much cheaper then the i5-4570 at a local retailer. going to get it today.
