1)for pc speed a ssd should solve your problems
2)gpu, i really can't advise as i scared i recommend you something not suitable(we leave it to the more senior members), and i tried googling cannot find until your "biostar tp678"
3)i think you mean 1TB wd blue 1tb hdd is around $76 at tradepac(prices may vary)
4)probably another 4gb of ram.

i think a comfortable gpu to enjoy bf4 and future games will already take up half of your budget or even more, and if possible, could you find out the power of your power supply unit, would be easier for others to recommend you a gpu.
