The 1050Ti is too expensive compareably and the 3GB is too shitty because it's 3GB.
Do you not have a cheaper 1050Ti option or a 1060 6GB or RX580/570 that's close in price?
>And what cpu should I get along with it?
r3 2200G, i5-8400, or r5 2600X in that order of budget.
For 1080@60hz, definitely stretch to the GTX1060 if you can. In terms of CPU either an Intel i5 8400/B350 if funds are limited, or AMD R5 2600x/B350 if you can stretch that little bit more.

could i buy one of these and put in a new graphics card. 8700/16gb RAM/512gb SSD
hey guys please advise on what i should do.
current pc
cpu amd 8320
ram 8gb ddr3 1600mhz
hdd 500gb
gpu rx 480
monitor 144hz asus 23" tn panel
os: windows 7
what video card would make it worth upgrading and should i move to ryzen or intel.
dont say just get the most expensive card cause thats just dumb. price doesnt just equal performance. i am Australian too which means we get fucked x2 the normal rate
There is a cheaper one made by zotaac or something never heard of em and seems to have lower base clock at 4000 L.E.
As for a different 1060 this is the cheapest one I could afford but prices spike alot here for different models.
Alright then would lower memory bite me in the ass in the future?
Thank you guys so much.
Is the i5 8400 good for emulation?
It's Base Frequency sets at 2.80 GHz
And emulation I think needs a lot of processing power.
shoving all of those into a cheap pre-built case that my parents have sitting around. should i go for 8gb instead? pcpartpicker.com
you could save a couple hundred with better components
Presuming it's a 1080p monitor, at least a 1060 6gb or an RX580 8gb. If you do go with Ryzen, a 1070 would be a good move for 144hz refresh.
>Alright then would lower memory bite me in the ass in the future?
It will be redundant sooner than the 6gb version, but I don't believe it'll be detrimental at least until a generation and a half of GeForce cards. By all means get a 6gb version if you can afford it for better future proofing, but it's not the end if the world settling for the 3gb version. At worse you'll be running medium settings. The 1050ti on the other hand I believe is over priced for what it is.
Something else to consider is the 3gb 1060 has about 10% less computing power to the 6gb version.
yeah good point. scratch that idea
