Low budget CPU upgrade

[TheTrollingKidYT]

Hello, I bought a prebuilt PC with a Nvidia 1050ti and a Intel I3 7100. I want to be able to play ARMA 3 with atleast 30 FPS and to browse around games without worrying about my CPU to give up on me. (8gb ram with 1tb HHD I think)

Alright, I don’t mind Ryzen if it will improve my system. What are my options? I don’t know anything about the Ryzen products. And if I was willing to pay more what kind of Ryzen and maybe Intel would be good with the Nivida 1050 TI?

Arma 3 system requirements:
OS – Windows 7 / Vista.
CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster.
GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster.
RAM – 2 GB.
HDD – 15 GB free space.
DVD – Dual Layer compatible.
DirectX® – 10.


Ryzen 5 1600x is the equivalent to the latest i5

The problem with a Ryzen upgrade is that you will a new motherboard too, also i dont think that i3- 7100 will have a problem with arma since its recommended cpu requirements are:
Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX 4300 or better
