I need a bit of help with my current system, but before I get to the questions, my specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B75M-D3H
CPU: Intel Core i5 3450
GPU: Asus GTX 460 (768mb)
RAM: DDR3 4gb
PSU: Antec 650W Bronze
My budget: Round about $800
I don't really think the rest is relevant. So my current plan is to upgrade my system to be capable of playing Battlefield 4 Ultra (Obviously 60fps) and to be able to play games on ultra for at least 3 quarters of a year. So my first question is what would you recommend I upgrade first to reach my goal. I was planning to upgrade my GPU to Powercolor AXR9 290 PCS+ (Because of Mantle), but now my second question is, will my CPU bottleneck it and would you recommend getting this card and if not which card would you rather have taken? If you could possibly give me a suitable place to buy the recommended components, then that would also be helpful, but just make sure I can ship it to South Africa. So no Newegg. Also prices are a little steep here eg. GTX 780 US: I saw some of them being $520 and in SA: $700-$800.
