1366953 2014-02-06 10:49:00 bit of a catch 22 situation (I think im using that wrong). If you upgrade your monitor then on your current gpu you may not get desireable framerates but if you upgrade the gpu it will be overkill for your monitor.... Personally I would go for a good monitor and then get some other gaming peripheral. Slankydudl (16687)

I agree. Maybe an i7 3770, with a new monitor?

1366955 2014-02-07 06:15:00 Very few games benefit from an i7 over an i5, I don't think BF4 is one of them. In all probability you would not notice the difference. I struggle to notice the speed advantage of my i7 over my i3 in fact, only a couple of titles even use 4 threads that well.
Things may change, but for now it's not the best choice for a gaming upgrade.

Either go the for a graphics card or maybe buy a nice screen, it's the one thing you always look at and an upgrade is immediately noticeable. Of course as slanky mentioned that will make your current GPU struggle more.
