It's pretty much the entry level GPU now.If you're playing at 1080 and are ok with lowering your settings it should last you a couple of years.

mcconkeymike · Dec 2, 2016

It isn't a bad GPU, but it isn't really a "powerful" one. I wouldn't consider it "future proof" at all. It is going to be best suited for 720p or 1080p gaming and probably looking at upper mid settings. If you want "future proof" you would need to look at the GTX 1070 or 1080 and those are not cheap GPUs. If you want your GPU to last a couple years (tops) I would go with the GTX 1060 6gb. Yes it is more expensive, but I think it'll last you longer than a 1050ti.

If you can afford a lil bit more then this comparison is must to see:

Be aware that this question can never be answered w/o knowing monitor resolution. But for 1080p, answer in graph below

"future proof" is unattainable.... kinda like "dating a pretty girl that is low maintenance" ... wife was standing behind me so couldn't resist, and yes I took a punch for that one

GTX 1060 ftw but 3gb would be plenty especially when 1050ti is on affordable level.However 6gb variant is a lil bit expensive.

Human Being · Dec 2, 2016

JackNaylorPE :

Good point user

mcconkeymike · Dec 2, 2016

Human Being :

I said the 6gb because it is more powerful, they trimmed down the 3gb, plus he was talking about "future proofing" which I know is impossible, but the 1060 6gb is much more future proof than the 1050ti.

To be honest 6gb 1060 would be helpful but i think we shouuld wait for him to reply and tell us his budget and then decision will be made.

Please let us contributors know your exact and (if feasible) further $+ budget as a supplement(additional).

Waleedlanjri · Dec 2, 2016

thank you guys for you answers i will get this gpu and if it get old i will change it xD by the way i will get the i5 6600 and i think this one is a powerful cpu

Human Being · Dec 2, 2016

Waleedlanjri :

Which gpu? 1050 ti or?

JackNaylorPE · Dec 2, 2016

It's worth the extra cost from 1050 Ti to 1060 if budget is there.

3 GB for 1080p

6 GB for 1440p

If you're not considering strictly Nvidia, the RX 480 4GB is also a decent option vs the 1060 3gb if you find a sale on it.

Human Being · Dec 2, 2016

bloodroses :

Won't recommend rx 480 4gb variant because of drivers instability and a lot of hurdles especially if you check forums for yourself a ton of threads created and can be easily googled.However in this instance neat and smooth work done is required,and would myself,recommend nvidia to escape from this hurdles.

Waleedlanjri :

Good.However JackNAylor has a good opinion on this matter.IF you also want some 'future proofing' too in upcoming instances.For now, gtx 1050ti would be enough.

sadly its can't fit my budget but the way do you think that the i5 6600k better than the non k or not a big deal ik you can oc but other than that

Human Being · Dec 2, 2016

Waleedlanjri :

'k' would be a good choice for overclocking purposes however it,then requires more power resulting in lowering your cpu warranty aka avoiding warranty reducing life span of cpu however today's skylake architrecture is much improved than previous cpu models.
Buy 'k' variant if affordable maybe in near future you might need it

otherweise stock non 'k' would be no problem.

bloodroses :

They 1060 3GB (7% slower than 6GB) runs neck and neck with the 480 8GB. My guess is there's a similar drop down to the 4Gb 480.

But you might want to add another case fan (possibly 50-100 watt bigger PSU) for the 480 as it runs a lil hotter

MSI Gaming X 480 pulls 196 watts typical gaming

MSI Gaming X 3GB pulls about 118 watts

Waleedlanjri :

To my eyes for $20, it's the [proverbial no brainer ...and if ta watch the sales ... for example 2 weeks back Microcenter had the 6600k cheaper than the 6500 in MoBo combo. Even if you don't wanna OC now, you can do it later... and if ya ever decide to sell the system, you'll get $100 more of a k equipped system. This assumes OFC that you have an appropriately equipped MoBo.

Waleedlanjri · Dec 2, 2016

First i can't buy from these sites and also i have to get the z mobo and a fan so i will get the non k with the same performance

James Mason · Dec 2, 2016

For gaming CPU is far less important than GPU.

Get like a i5-6500 and the best GPU you can afford.
