Hey folks, first time poster here.

Getting back into PC gaming after about a year and obviously I want to upgrade my RIG. I have an initial issue with the power button that I need to solve, if not the power then its the motherboard (ask about it if you're curious). Assuming everything is okay I want to find out what should I upgrade next.

The game I play most is Skyrim Special Edition but I intend to play Battlefield 1 at some point ( doubt my current specs can handle it).

Current specs:

Processor : AMD A10-7850K (with Radeon R7 card built in but this is basically obsolete since I use a newer graphics card)

Graphics Card : Zotac Geforce GTX 760.

RAM : 16GB (7GB usable).

OS : Windows 7 64bit.

Extra Storage : 1TB ( D drive ).

Ideally if you can think of a good upgrade try to take good pricing into consideration but any suggestions are great as I can save up for them in the future.
Haven't posted before so i might be in the wrong place but any help is greatly appeciated!

Thanks!

assuming your meant Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X motherboard, well best you could do with a cpu upgrade on that would be awhat you have already.
so a cpu upgrade means mobo, cpu, and ram upgrades..

why I suggested to upgrade yout GTX 760 to a Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB GAMING Video Card
which when your ready to get the big upgrade will carry over to the new system :)

Hey! Thanks for the quick response.

Not quite ready for a new system yet unfortunately. You suggest go for a new video card so? Initially I was fairly certain that it would be the CPU that could use a boost more considering its a bit more dated.
Any further input?

Forgot to mention that the Motherboard is a Gigabyte Sniper.
Kind regards

Thanks guys (sorry for delay in response)! I think the best solution is to go ahead with a new system. One last question for The Paladin, is the system you suggested suitable for high peformance gaming? For the price listed that would be awesome!
Currently I've probably put €600/€700 into the current Rig, obviously some of my specs are dated now but it was a reasonable budget gaming PC.
