Hello all - I haven't had a PC gaming rig in some time now. I currently have a i3-3225 Intel processor (with integrated graphics) and 8gb of memory.
I am interested in possibly getting Battlefield 4 and saw the system requirements:

I am not going for super high end, but at the same time I would never roll with the minimum spec.
I would be playing at 1900x1200 and like to have visuals set to med or high
1 - Do you think a Radeon 7850 2gb would be sufficient? (I still need to buy something)
2 - Is my processor going to be a big bottleneck being only dual core? I definitely don't want to overbuy on graphics if my CPU isn't cut out for gaming.
3 - Is there any point in getting a sound card these days? As in, do games specifically do anything to partner with the sound card makers these days for extra effects? (I believe in Battlefield 2 days it still made sense to get an EAX card...)
Thanks in advance for your help!
