I Have an Alienware x51 and I think I need to upgrade it for the next-gen games like Battlefield, my budget is around 200-500, any suggestions?

Depends on your current specifications. You'll need to tell us what they are as there is no use us firing blind.

CPU - Either an i7 or a high end i5. A top end AMD quad core might be fine, but my personal recommendation is for an Intel.
RAM - DDR3. I'd go for at least 8GB for future-proofing.
GPU - Go for 7850 if your screen is under 1920x1200, 7870 if it's bigger.
HDD - Forget SCSI. Seriously. Get a 160GB SSD (Intel or one with an Indilinx controller) for your C drive and get a 2TB HDD for your D drive to hold all your files. videos, etc.
PSU - Go for a quality brand of at least 850W.
