Alright, thanks! But would a better CPU still increase my fps in more demanding games like bf4?

Nope, that combo is fine. I wouldn't be pairing a higher end GPU with that APU though.

 

 

Yeah for sure. Pretty minimal though as your still going to be lacking in GPU power for BF4

Alright, thank you everyone for the quick reply's!

It's not exactly a good cpu, but then again your gpu really isn't that good either so you should be just fine, besides my dual core E8400 kept up new games just fine

Your CPU is quite more than capable to work with that graphics card without bottlenecking it. Don't worry about it.

For bf4 it's recommended for AMD to get 6 or 8 cores and for intel it's recommended to get quad core or hexa core "6 core"

Yes, although it might be minimal. I recommend an FX 6300 or an FX 8350. Or you can pony up and get an i5 4670k.

How will he be fine? Unless he's going to be playing at 1280x720 it will be okay "being nice" and even then that's pushing it. 

 

Get the 4670k, same price and new gen.

I was thinking about getting a FX-8320 and overclocking it. Its $50 less than a 8350 too.
