Upgrading current hardware for Next-gen games

[iMEGAv12]

Hi guys,

New to OCKS UK forums and looking for general advise about upgrading my current system to be able to play Next-gen games e.g. (Battlefield 4, COD: Ghosts, Assassin Creed, NFS :Rivals).

Looking to get Battlefield 4 on top specs out of all the games I mentioned but I tested my current system on Can You Run It? and I failed to meet the recommended settings needed for Battlefield 4, failing on Graphics Card, CPU and OS (It's recommending Windows 8). Just wanted to get people's opinions and advice on what Graphic card and CPU I should upgrade too.

My current specs are:
AMD FX-4100 (Quad Core @ 3.6Ghz)
AMD Radeon HD 6870
16GB RAM Total
ASUSTeK M5A97 PRO
Seagate 750GB Momentus XT

Just hoping you guys can give me some advice on this!
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums dude,
My first question is how much are you willing to spend? Overall that is going to be the biggest factor. Also what resolution will you be gaming at?

Thanks for replying, I'm willing to spend a fair bit on what I need the most which in my view looks like the graphics card. My CPU passes on other games expect for battlefield of course.
