What's your budget, and what are the lowest settings you're comfortable playing at, and your resolution?

[Abraham Martinez]

@JaegerBThank you for responding! My budget is $600 USD and the lowest setting i am comfortable playing at is low. As for the resolution it is 1360 x 780 (playing on television)

That 1050 Ti will be alright on most AAA games, around Medium, even high. What you should be upgrading is RAM, CPU, and mobo. Used parts are real good. A skylake or maxwell cpu these days is really cheap second hand, and you might even be able to get mobo and ram with it. You probably want DDR4 8GB at 2133 or 2400 depending on what you can afford. Have a look around craigslist, ebay, all that stuff.

 

I mean, you can get around 40-50 fps on medium in BF1 with what you have right now. You don't even really need to upgrade. If anything, save your cash and overhaul your rig some time in the future.

You should really upgrade your mobo cpu and ram, the 1050ti is a pretty new piece of hardware so upgrading your graphics card is redundant with a 1st gen cpu. 

Also if that hardrive of yours is old, you might want to consider getting a new one or even an SSD to prevent from an old HDD to slow down your build.

Here is an example of what would be a good upgrade below.

 

Ryzen 1600 ~ 200$

AM4 Mobo ~ 100$

16 GB Ram~ 170$

2TB HDD~ 70$

Hey Mate,

Here:

1. Corsair LPX - 8GB (2x4GB) - $135 -https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0123ZB70Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511156524&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair%2Blpx&th=1

 

2. Mobo: MSI x370 -$160 - https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-X370-Motherboard-GAMING-PLUS/dp/B06XQ5V3R4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1511156504&sr=8-5&keywords=x370+motherboards&dpID=515-GjHPpyL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

 

3. Processor - i5 8400 - $250 - https://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-8th-gen-core-i5-8400-3d-142465.htm

4. Monitor - BenQ - $100 - https://www.amazon.ca/BenQ-9H-LE5LB-QPA-21-5-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitors/dp/B019EFMK1I/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511156873&sr=1-3&keywords=1080p+monitor&dpID=41kMwLTjZnL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

 

This totals $645 If you can buy a used monitor or ram then sweet.

 

Alternatively you could swap out the i5 processor for:

 i3 8100 - $160 - https://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-8th-gen-core-i3-8100-dc-142463.htm 

 

this will save you $90 and give you $40 to put back into a better monitor perhaps  or more ram. Or forget about the new monitor if you don't watn 1080P and you save yourself another 100$ (i would recommend saving and going for a 1440p or a 1080p with 100+ refresh rate monitor, it makes a big difference. or if you are satisfied, save yourself the money all together  )
