2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium G840

Main Circuit Board
H61M-P31 (G3) (MS-7788) 1.0

memory
8G

Display
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630

For immediate boost in performance right away, I would do a GPU first. With a new CPU, a good bang-for-the-buck CPU would be the i5-3330, which will be more than powerful enough for games, and a large upgrade from the 2.8 Pentium.

For the GPU, assuming you're at no more than 1080p, the best bang-for-the-buck card would probably be the R9 270x, which will get you High/Ultra.

Of course, money no object, I would go with the i7-3770 and a GTX 780 Ti lol

With gaming as the main consideration, the GPU would give you the biggest immediate boost. The Pentium isn't the strongest, but as most games prior to BF4 were dual-threaded, Intel's performance is pretty decent.

Going to something like the R9 270 or 270x will jump you to getting High/Ultra in everything at 1080p, whereas the 630 can probably do low/medium I would assume.
