I want to play games like battlefield one. But I have amd Radeon r7 200 series gpu and i3 4160. 8gb ram. What upgrades on a budget should I make in order to play the game at 1080p with high or above settings?

The new i5 skylake would be cool but I don't wanna have to get a new motherboard ram etc too cuz I am on a budget here

I think best bet is a new gpu but I want to be cost effective (performance to price). I have heard maybe 1060 or 1050ti. But also rx470 or 480.

Any help is appreciated
 
That's not a bad CPU and you have 8gb ram, so you have most of what you need to play the game reasonably well. Assuming you're looking for ~60fps, you'll be at 100% CPU load once you start with high settings in the more demanding parts of the game. You'll need to choose, all high settings or 60fps, you can't have both. A 1050 Ti is the most I'd get, unless you think a CPU upgrade will be happening at some point. Some settings tax the CPU not the videocard, so if you set them high it won't matter how powerful your videocard is.

Nothing set in stone. Whatever it takes to get it done but I'd like to keep it as cheap as I can too. Like for a gpu I would say nothing too much over 250
