Even my old HD5570 still plays BF4 very well on 720p low settings (easily over 30 fps stable), theyre tougher than you'd imagine haha

Well that's not a surprise to me, because my R9 270X is also outperformed by my HD5570, simply because the R9 270X manages to crash the game before it loads.

Yeah there still going good. Plays all games near max settings @1080p with the exception of BF4, crysis 3 ect. Dont particularly feel like i would really benefit from a gpu upgrade yet. Maybe an gtx 880ti or 900 series

Your build seems legit, man! I used to have a HD6970 back in the day. You will see much improvement just from swapping platforms, despite the fact that you'll continue to use your existing cards.

Yeah the main reasons were to have a smaller compact build and an intel 4770k thats way more powerfull than the 1100t.
