You can upgrade the CPU to a FX-6300. And the graphics card maybe an R7 card.

If this is your motherboard. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A97_R20/HelpDesk_CPU...
You will need to update the BIOS if needed to 1006. Buy a FX 6300 processor and overclock it up to about 4.5 to get the stink out (this will take a decent aftermarket CPU cooler)
You have no memory listed you need 8GB not 4 BF4 has some memory leakage.
You also never listed the monitor resolution this is very important for picking a video card but in general a GTX 760 without all the eye candy turned on will get you 60 FPS @ 1080p resolution in BF4 the other game takes less so that is not talked about here.
For the parts list above I would use a good quality 550 Watt PSU (min) as above you made no mention of that.

^ like he said, it's hard to give suggestions without knowing PSU at the very least. Don't want to suggest and upgrade that your PSU doesn't even have power for.
