For other games I'm planning on getting in the near future that are more graphic intense.
Even then it's a complete waste. The GTX 970 isn't that much better and in comparison not cost-effective at all, as the 770 can handle anything that's currently on the market just fine. Getting a better GPU is one thing but upgrading it when your GPU already is very good is just unnecessary.
Ultimately the choice is yours but I'd advise you to save your money and wait - at least until winter/spring 2015.
I'm really horrible at understanding PC specs but little by little I'm learning. I was wondering at what level would I be able to run the game? high, medium, low? It's my video card that worries me. I really don't want to spend the money to upgrade to a new one right now and I'm really hoping for at least medium settings. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could weigh in at how high I can turn up the graphics. Thanks in advance
Windows 8.1 64-bit

Video Card: HD AMD Radeon 7500 series 1 GB
RAM: 8 GB
What is your display resolution?
In regards to the hyper threading posts - games don't use it. So don't count it in regards to DAI. Also for games an i5 will be just as good as an i7 of equal speed and cores; again because games don't use hyper threading.
more an more games do. crysis3 can utilize up to 10 or 12 threads, and BF4 and Watch Dogs does have a better performance with activated HT.

yep, your graphic card is the bottleneck. i would start at low settings and increase them until i reach the best balance between quality and performance.
the 2 gpu I was pointed to are the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked ACX , or the Gigabyte Radeon r9 280 3GB Windforce. I was leaning towards the 280, since from what I have read it seems to be the better card. I believe the ram is ddr3. I take it there is no way to know what kind of psu I have unless I open the case? Are there no ways to have it detected automatically to see if that is something I need to upgrade too?
Thank you
take the R9 280. similar performance, but 3GB VRAM and usually well overclockable. if its DDR3 RAM reuse it, if its DDR2 it wont fit in the slots. i assume you have an OEM-PC so i would replace the PSU with a good ~450W model from a quality brand (again for example SeaSonic or Enermax).

sorry I didn't see your reply sooner!
damn, I may have to upgrade I guess. I really wanted to avoid it though 
damn, I may have to upgrade I guess. I really wanted to avoid it though
but you really should replace the gpu, a HD75XX is almost an insult for the i7 3770 which is still a great and very powerful CPU^^
important when you do so: check your PSU, OEM-PCs usually have a powerful CPU but weak GPU whit just a little power consumption, and mostly these PCs have very cheap PSUs which tend to die if you put more than 70% load on it so you better replace them if you replace the GPU with a bigger one.
can anybody tell me if my pc can run in on high setting ?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8Ghz
Ram: 4096 MB
Windows 7 64bit
Display: Gtx 650
Display Mem: 2763MB
Resolution 1360-768
thats not good, or, better said, not enough. you have to replace it. a good ~450W PSU from a quality brand (like Enermax or SeaSonic) is enough.hmm, that case seems to be very small, not sure if a dualslot card fits into it...
Thank you for all the information you've given me! I'll take it into consideration when/if I look for a PC. Much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help! I guess it's just because I'm always looking to save money. Yeah My Power supply is 460W I believe, so I guess I'll have to get a new one of those as well.
Well, I meet the recommended requirements for everything except my gpu. I have a GTX 550 Ti. A little apprehensive about that.
time to upgrade^^

the brand is more important than how many W it has.

No worry! With this resolution, I honestly think you should be fine on medium. The rest of your setup is fine (very solid processor). Follow the advice of Deathangel above and tweak the graphic options.
I'm a bit on the same boat as you with a 7850 1GB on an i5 3450 @3.10 GHz.
I definitely think you should test things, even more so if you don't want to upgrade.
I just saw the recommended specs, holy VRAM, Batman.
On the topic of power supply folks, these are the ones you want to avoid:
- Power supply from Advance, Heden, LiteOn, Top Elite, Raptox, QTech, LC Power . Edit: OCZ too (often rebranded)
- Power supply which have been "rebranded", with some exceptions.
Also heard some specific models from Corsair and Cooler Master have not had a good track record: -CX Corsair and Cooler Master GX Lite. Otherwise CM and Corsair are generally good power supply manufacturer.
the brand is more important than how many W it has.
I guess I'll have to open up my system and find out, I didn't even know that the brand made a difference :/ . shows you what I know about PC 
.
I'll have to take measurements anyway since the Dell XPS 8500 case is so small. I should have just built my own computer, it probably would have been cheaper. Oh well, you live and learn. You and Fivethreeten helped me a lot so thank you.

It seems that was a typo: http://forum.bioware...8#entry17480176
These are pretty close to BF4 recommended specs, same 7870 and 660 but BF4 didn't reduce the 3GB VRAM
Recommended requirements:OS
WINDOWS 8 64-BIT
PROCESSOR
AMD SIX-CORE CPU
INTEL QUAD-CORE CPU
MEMORY
8 GB
GRAPHICS CARD
AMD RADEON HD 7870
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660
GRAPHICS MEMORY
3 GB
HARD DRIVE
30 GB
Hmm seems I'm alright apart from my Graphics card which is a GTX 560 TI
In case others are wondering about the other specs, here they are:
OS: Win 7 64 bit
Processor: I7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics Card: GTX 560 TI
Direct X: DX11
So yeah, probably medium-high graphics where available. Any comments on this rig?
Fyi wattage is more important when you are running more power hungry hardware such as multiple video cards & drives $ USB devices etc.I guess I'll have to open up my system and find out, I didn't even know that the brand made a difference :/ . shows you what I know about PC

cpu is great, gpu is crap, but good enough for low/medium settings.
(always these OEM-PCs...)
this.
Thanks for the advice. Though if I'm lucky I may be able to set things to High setting but only if I'm lucky since due to the game not being released yet we don't quite know if the current requirement fits the real requirements players will face once they start playing the game.
Indeed it fine, just gotta upgrade your card. You could grab a 7 series geforce for ~$200-250 that would work very nicely for you
Unfortunately, I'm in Australia, so any of those decent cards are priced around $300-$400 price range. Not a big deal, it'd just be nicer if they were cheaper 
Awesome, the recommended specs are well within my reach.
I will be rocking this on maximum at 1440p with my i7 3570k at 4.2Ghz and 8GB ram and 780 GTX in SLI (will even frame cap them), I really hope there will be an SLI profile.
I actually wish they would have resolution scaling like they did in BF4, so I could up it to 200%.
Now, will I play this with my Naga 2014 or buy the new Roccat Tyon, whenever it is available in Canada.
Can I ask you a question, guys?
Does it support Windows 7 32 bit as this point seems to be unclear in system spec page.
Thanks
welp looks like i could run it on low and 1080p, im happy with that
Minor error on my part when we sent this information off.
The Recommended specs should have said 2 GB of video card memory.
