Best CPU/GPU/MoBo combo for $260

64Timothy121 · Nov 8, 2016

3 days ago, I asked the Forum what is the budget proc. for GTX 1050. But the pricing of GTX 1050 is higher than I expected( yep, I'm just saving money for the future so I came for a cheapest build I ever can) so... any ideas? Thanks!!!

BTW, Please no Second-hand build or part or whatsoever. Thanks again!

If you don't mind doing mail-in rebates you could go for something like this:

Just CPU/Mobo/GPU? What about RAM?

For $260 for those 3 components, I'd say this would be your best option:

IF you could push the budget a little, the 1050TI is just about doable:

I'd skip the non-TI 1050.
