Honest you should just assemble your own, HP tends to have proprietary hardware which is not compatible with someparts.

Yes to both. Your CPU upgrade path is limited to the AMD processors on this list: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5358992&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03782881-2%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

The A10-6800K is the most powerful processor on that list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113331[/quote]

No. Your computer's power supply isn't powerful enough to accept a GTX 650 Ti or GTX 650 Ti Boost. You have to upgrade the existing power supply in order to use a mid-range or better video card.

Your computer's processor will also bottleneck a substantial amount of BF4's performance (assuming this is the BF you are talking about.) BF4 wants to be run on at least a quad-core processor.
