Sapphire RX 580 4GB Pulse is a good upgrade for 199. That is assuming that you are gaming at 1080p resolution.

What's your monitor resolution (1080p / 1440p)? What genres of games do you play?

So that we can recommend a video card that is capable of playing your games smoothly at the resolution of your monitor.

8gb ram gaming would not be enough for battlefield, better get 16gb. it depends whether do you want to play at 1080p or 1440p and your budget.

for your monitor, you would be playing at 1080p then.

ok so i would need to purchase another 8gb of ram to make it 16gb is that right?? i dont need a very high fps. just playable fps will do. i am running overwatch on 60 to 80 on average. so sapphire pulse 4gb will able me to play game with much better fps?

Try for a GTX 1060 or 580 8gb instead. SLight top up, massive performance diff.

This is true for 1060 6gb vs 3gb. 580 8gb and 4gb has no difference at all performance wise. 4gb is good enough(with a promo now) so it's the better choice.

Depending on your power supply capacity, you might have to change that as well.
