so im thinking of upgrading my pc its ok but i want to be able to play bf1 currently i have

gigabyte f2a68hm-h mob

amd a8 7650k  cpu

cool master elite 550 psu

asus strix gtx950 gpu

8gb of kingston ram

thanks for the help

You will need an upgrade in my opinion. Really any intel quad core will work according to the LTT video and an rx 470 or better GPU. 8 gb of ram also.

Budget and currency/location? Your best option would be to upgrade to an i5, perhaps a used Haswell if your budget is tight. I wouldnt be a bad idea to upgrade your GPU either, perhaps a 470. Defiantly get a PSU, that isnt very good (or safe).

you should be able to play at medium-high with your setup. i'd recommend swapling out to a gtx 1050ti, or if you really can, an rx 470.

try for an i5 6400 and a gtx 1050ti/rx 470. if you're really strapped for cash you can buy a ddr3 skylake mobo to reuse your ram.

Its not about the wattage, its about the quality. Its very poor quality (As is most of CM PSUs). A "Good amount" isnt very clear. I cant recommend much until I know more.
