I am looking to, hopefully, get a better CPU than the current Athlon II X2 250 Processor I currently have. And if it has to be done, I'll upgrade my mobo so I can handle something better.
So my system, I have a Dell Insprion 570 and I have upgraded it with a Corsair CX600 Builder Series and I just got a HD Radeon 7850. Playing the few games I have on the highest settings was amazing, but then I tried BF3, and I thought that UI would be able to play at least at Medium at full resolution(1600x900 native) but that wasn't going to happen. I immediately thought that is was my CPU, as listed above, that was bottlenecking it.
I want to know if I should get a Phenom II X4 970 CPU (because my mobo is AM3) and if that would be a good CPU to go with the 7850. But the other option, which I'm not looking forward to doing if I have to it to get a new Motherboard. So if I were to get a new motherboard I would need it to be compatible with my current PSU and my current GPU and, I don't know for sure but, I think my current mobo is a Micro-ATX.

If you need any other information about my build please ask.
Thanks.
