I'm running ultra with a 660ti so considering they are similar league , you should at least get high

You might just be fine but for the better fps low is the better option the only thing that is letting you down is your cpu if you consider upgrading that you will have the option to run in ultra.

My build which is:

Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
I3 4130
8gb ram

Runs in high smoothly but I would consider getting a i5

yes, you will be able to run BF4 on medium settings on a 1080 resolution

take a look at this benchmark done at BF4's release:

with an i7 4770k at stock the Radeon HD 7870 gets 55 FPS average, I would imagine that the GHz version would be able to do a bit better.

Though because your processor is only a second generation i3 your performance may be bottlenecked a little, I still expect that you'll be able to run BF4 on high with about 40-50 fps average, but you might struggle during multiplayer modes because your CPU only has 2 cores, but it does have hyperthreading (so essentially 2 cores/4 threads) so you may still be okay.

I'll also go ahead and be a dick and say this, please do not tell people who are going to help you on a forum to "don't be lazy and look it up" because that can just as easily be redirected towards you. If you don't feel like an answer is sufficient or thoroughly researched then just ignore it, but understand that people are only ever trying to help, and by the very virtue of coming to your thread and answering your question are already not being "lazy"

Thank you so much. Sorry I was so frustrated at that time.

It's alright

Either way, your system is ready enough for battlefield 4 so be sure to update your drivers and you'll be fine!

Thanks mate.
BTW I actually the rest of the parts but I got my old motherboard and fits everything is fast.
BTW can i upgrade to an i7 in the future?

you can, but i wouldn't recommend it too much, because assuming you are talking about 1 or 2 years down the line, your motherboard will only let you upgrade to an i7 3xxx Ivy Bridge, but by then Intel will have released their Broadwell line of chips (which will be 2 generations newer than yours)

but you can definitely do it if your motherboard holds out, the i7 3770 is still a very strong processor and will continue to be even 2 years from now. However, I would definitely recommend just using this set up (B75 and the i3 2120) until the end of its lifeline, or until you need an upgrade, then upgrading to a new motherboard and processor when the time comes.

Thanks you just saved me like 400 bucks.
I will probably upgrade motherboard and os and procesor like in 3 years.
Right now this is good right?

Yes right now your i3 will be fine, although near the end of the 3 years you may find your PC struggling a bit, it'll be fine if you maintain it well.
