i have

a10 7850k (integrated graphics)
a68hm grenade
8gb 1600hmz ram 2x4
toshiba 500gb hdd

I've been gaming on this build for about a month now and I mainly play csgo.
I get around 120 fps on lowest settings 720p.
I want to make an upgrade, I thought about a rx 470

Yes I use the 1050ti 4GB SSC w/ i3-6100 for GTA5 @ 80FPS on a 2560x1080 as well as BF1 for average of 70 FPS with the same build.

Instead of a Rx 470 I'd get the 1050ti 4GB. It has better support with drivers and just works a lot better. I had the RX 470, I have trouble installing the drivers on a fresh load of Windows 10. I ended up purchasing the EVGA SSC 1050TI 4GB card which easily plays CSGO @ Max FPS on a 2560x1080 monitor.

Be careful of the 1060 3GB, its performance has been well cut compared to the 6GB version. It would still do everything you need, but at that price point it's beaten out by the RX 480 for around 5 EURO more.

https://www.amazon.de/Sapphire-Radeon-NITRO-GDDR5-PCI-E/dp/B01IQS6QE6/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1485189379&sr=1-3&keywords=rx+480

Would advise this. Also, avoid small form-factor GPUs unless you're using an ITX case, the thermals and performance are not that of a full sized card

I've asked this same question on Linus tech tips and they said my apu will bottleneck the rx480 pretty badly
