I have recently built an AMD based PC... I want to play BF4 with more FPS than I'm getting now basically. (I have to play on Medium Graphics settings with no AA atall and I get 30-50FPS) Not the best, looks awful and stutters a little.

Specs (none overclocked):
CPU: AMD FX 6300
GPU: XFX FX 7950 Black Edition
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
MOBO: MSI MS 7641 FX
HD: 1tb

(I'm upgrading to an SSD for BF4 and OS soon...)

I'm not too sure what to upgrade, I don't know much about the hardware!

Discuss?

That card shouldn't have any trouble running battlefield. Which drivers are you running?

Not at all, it's always best to use beta drivers as they mostly include better profiles for games.

I would say no, but if you have enough money I don't see why not. More CPU power never hurt, but it depends on where you want to prioritize your upgrades. I would start with a different motherboard and the 8320, then move on to an SSD as a next upgrade because a 7950 should perform very well in newer games. How much money do you have to spend?

The 8350 is a factory overclocked version of the 8320, they're the exact same chip. You're paying ~$30 more for a pre-done overclock that you can do yourself for free (given that you have a decent aftermarket cooler). Buying an 8350 is truthfully pointless.
