    Hello ,

    actually you need to upgrade the CPU because the minimal cpu required is Core i5 6600K as shown in the picture , 

    and the minimal RAM required is 8GB , so you should start with the cpu first .

    Good luck . 

  • I see this question a lot lately, there's a misconception going around about RAM with this game.

    I'm using 6GB DDR2 RAM and I don't get any frame drops anymore, for a few different reasons, my PC is considerably lower spec than yours but I'm playing with a consistent 50-60 FPS on most maps.
