I have a crappy crappy pc and I say its about time to upgrade my parts so i can enjoy gaming even more! I have only a budget around 400$ and I wanna play games like Battlefield 1, CSGO, H1Z1 and Battlegrounds! It doesnt have to be ultra... but i would like to know the best parts i can buy with only 400$ to better fps in games! :]

Specs:
CPU: AMD FX-4300 quad core 3.8 GHz with 4.0GHz turbo boost. AMD 760G Chipset
GPU: Radeon 7700
Motherboard: MSI 760 GM-P34 FX | AMD 760 GM-P23 FX | GA-78LMT-USB3 (One of these I have no idea which)
Memory: 2 x 4 GB DDR3
Storage: HDD, Hard drive interface: SATA. 7200rpm

1. I would make sure the bios of that board is set to the latest as per web site http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-S2-rev-11#support-dl
F6 (boot in bios or look in Speccy under motherboard it will tell you what the current on is.)

2. I would Track an FX-8300, FX-8320E or FX-8370E ( as per web page : http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-S2-rev-11#support-cpu)
on ebay...
3. put that HD 7700 on ebay to be sold, they fetch about 65-85$
4. use cash to get RX 480 4GB

so prices as you noticed I did not include the return fund that come from selling your HD7700
