quite simply your old dual core, at 2.6ghz will hold back the performance of your GPU. It will bottleneck the GPU.

The 650ti Boost is a decent enough card. But with your old system, you won't get the full potential from the card.
I'm in the same boat, with a Q6600 and an older system. In their day, they were superb, but now not so superb. Am considering a system upgrade eg new CPU/mobo/ram, and maybe keeping a few bits from my current PC. Even though I...
What is your CPU exactly? I doubt it would be too steady considering your CPU is a big drawback. I would suggest you try high settings if you want but I can't ever see more than 35/40FPS on BF4 and the same for the other games. Your GPU is perfect but that CPU though, would you not get an AMD FX series CPU? Like the FX-6300? Then overclock it and you will easily run BF4 on high settings 40FPS.

Even though I have a quadcore CPU, and a GPU (560ti) with similar performance as the 650ti Boost, I'm struggling at medium level, with 40-50 fps (with some drops into the 30FPS area) on BF4.

I highly doubt you will be playing those games with that CPU.
