GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
Amd Fx4300 quad core
15.98 gb ram
these are what I can see from nvidia. really don't know how to check what other parts are in, still pretty new to all of this.
 
My suggestion would be:

Ryzen 5 3600
16GB DDR4 3200 RAM (or faster)
B450 Motherboard

Right now is a bad time to upgrade your GPU. There's both (rumored) new graphics cards coming from Nvidia, and AMD this summer/fall.

This is true. You want to wait for the new GPUs so that you either get one of the new ones (and have good but buggy performance that increases with driver updates), or get an older one (basically current gen) for less.

You should definitely upgrade your CPU. IMO the best, and only, option to look at is a Ryzen 3000 CPU. Your motherboard is very important when choosing a new CPU. The B450 is close to the cheapest chipset that will support the appropriate Ryzen 3000 series CPU. It is most suitable for anything below and including the 3600x.
I also recommend Ryzen 3600.

GTX 1050 TI is still very good for BF4, and weather or not you should upgrade this depends on what (newer) games you want to play, and if you care about the graphics settings in those games.

16GB of ram is plenty, and you don't need any more than that unless you are a streamer or do large CAD projects. Of course, if you upgrade to a 3000 CPU (which I highly recommend), then you really do want at least 3000MHz RAM. How exactly you want to upgrade your ram depends on your motherboard. All full ATX b450 MBs should have 4 memory slots, two sets of dual channel. I would recommend getting a two 3200MHz 4GB stick set, for a total of 8GB. If you find that you need more, then get the same set again.
I recommend HyperX Fury 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM.

You can check out more about your hardware in the Performance tab in Task Manager, or by downloading Speccy.

Not trying to criticize Dan but I knew one day my tanking would take over your life. Most people would look in their "task" manager :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused:............STRYKER.

P.S. It goes without saying I need to get some kind of life if I am noticing shit like this.

God damn it.

This will tell you pretty much everything about your system and more

Yep, CPUID is pretty top tier, but I think Speccy is easier to look at.
 
ended up buying

ryzen 5 3600x
msi mpg x570
860 qvo 1tb
corsair ddr4 3600
gtx 1660 oc (I wanted the super but didn't pay attention while checking out smh.)

Yeah that's a pretty solid rig! Better buying it now than later, prices will only continue to increase. While your putting it together do not forget to do cable management.
 
Smart move with the AMD cpu and Nvidia card. If I could add any advice, nvivia cards are worth the extra money. My 5700xt has been good to me but it took months and months of updates to get to where I am. My 1050ti to be honest never gave me nearly as many issues as my amd card does. On the other hand I have heard only good things about AMD cpus.

Yep. My 5700XT (50th Anniversary Edition) has had a tonne of driver problems, and if you aren't tech savvy I would bet that anyone in my position would have returned it a long time ago. However, the cost to performance is way better with AMD, and Radeon Image Sharpening is The coolest thing I have ever seen in a graphics card. It is the ONE reason I will stay with AMD. Also the Radeon Software has overclocking tools built in. I also think that an open source version of ray tracing might come to AMD in the near future (though maybe in fewer games).
 
So all built up and running but I can not download Origin? two errors VCRUNTIME140.dll and MSVCP140.dll. I've updated drivers and windows.
