Upgrading my rig

[AI]

1. Budget & Location

I live in the United states of America and my budget right now is around $500 or so dollars

2. Aim

Mainly for gaming Battlefield 1, World of Warcraft, Civ 6

3. Monitors

I have one monitor and its a 1080p, 1920 x 1200

4. Peripherals

Already have the peripherals

5. Why are you upgrading?

My computer was a budget build and with Christmas its time to upgrade it. Battlefield 1 is started to not run that great as  I am under the minimum requirements.

RAM: 8gb

GPU: GIGABYTE R9 270 WindForce 2X OC

Is a MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card  better than the GIGABYTE R9 270 WindForce 2X OC  I have? All the sites I am looking at say it is.
