    Budget?

    The amd on board gfx are no way powerful enough to run bf4 so you will need to buy a dedicated gfx card.

    Theres a HD 7790 for under 100 on pixmania, probably as good as you'll get on your budget.

    On that budget I'd pick up a 560ti second hand.

    Absolutely fine yeah, the 7770 was a (presumed) budget constraint not a technical one. TBH I didn't actually expect to find a sub 100 7790 when I went looking. As sterling said you could do better second hand but new the above is as good as it gets I reckon.
