Battlefield 4 PC Upgrade

[GamerMT]

Hi guys, i'm upgrading my PC for Battlefield 4...
Current:
GPU: Nvidia GTX 650 1G
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965
RAM: 8GB (32 Bit, so 3,25GB)
HDD: 1TB
550W PSU
OS: Windows 7 32 Bit
Upgrading to:
GPU: R9 280X Toxic 3GB
CPU: FX-8350
RAM: 8GB (64 Bit)
HDD: 1TB
PSU: 650W
+ A new motherboard (don't know which though))
With Windows 7 64 bit..
How will this run Battlefield 4, and what motherboard can i get up to 80 euros? (I live in Europe)

Thanks for any help.

Have you looked at a Asus m5a97 R2.0 ? I believe it's in your budget and one of the most popular boards out there for Overclocking etc

+1 to the Asus, great board. You should be able to run Bf4 on ultra with decent framerates..

Get an FX 8320 and just OC it and save money.

get a better gpu like gtx 770

The R9 280x Toxic is equal to the GTX 780 and is even cheaper than the GTX 770. So.. erm.. nope.

Seems good and in my budget.. I'll take a look at it.

Good good, and as for the comment above the R9 280X is very slightly weaker than 780 (2-5frames usually) so I'd go for whichever option is cheaper also you get 3gb VRAM as standard on R9 280X models and on the highest settings some BF4 maps can use more than 2gb of VRAM so i'd go with the R9 280X + mantle benefit(if it's decent could be 10frames or so perhaps)

Yeah, the R9 280x Toxic is 300 euros at my country. And i also like the design. And Battlefield 4 is AMD-Optimized, which will mean it will gain me some FPS in comparison to the almost equal GTX 780..

possibly and don't forget about the release of Mantle that's coming up(google search it if you don't know what it is)

hope you enjoy your new system

Yeah, a 'project' by AMD to make games run smoother. Anyways, thanks!

the gtx 770 is better

I have basically the same set up with the cpu @ 4.5ghz and the gpu @ 1150/1600 and I can get around 65 fps ultra at 1080p.
