    an Nvidia GTX 1060 or a 2nd hand GTX 970 might be your best bet

    Define cheap - what's your budget?

    I'd suggest spending around €200 for a great 1080p60 experience in SW Battlefront/Battlefield 1 (CS:GO runs on a potato).

    So that means used GTX 970, or new GTX 1060 3Gb / RX 470 4Gb.

    In terms of performance, those 3 cards are neck-on-neck.
    Personally I'd spring for a 1060 3Gb simply because it uses less power.

    If budget is a concern a GTX1050 2GB is an excellent budget card. Next card up is RX470 4GB or GTX1060 3GB. The i3-6100 will be fine for Battlefront but BF1 online is a real CPU killer, might want to think about an i5-6400....an i5-6400 + GTX1050 versus an i3-6100 + GTX1060 would be better overall.
