My friend wants to upgrade to be able to play bf3 on med-high settings.
I was going to give him my old ASUS M2V-MX-SE with a Anthlon 64 4800+ and just upgrade his GPU to a 5770 for 130$ leaving him enough for a cheap psu and case. Would that CPU be good enough with the 5770 to run BF3 on medium-high?
Edit- I forgot to add that this cpu used to overheat and shut down so I would have to buy a hyper 212 or something of the sorts. What about overclocking, is that a viable option as well?
other specs-
4gigs of ddr2
win 7 ult
500w psu
