Hello,
I'm wondering what gpu to get? I'm a value seeker and I like to get my value's worth. I just bought a friends old business class PC and put in a 500W powersupply. I'm debating on if I should get a 1050ti or spend a bit more and get an rx 480 4GB. I would feel stupid buying the 1050ti as my old PSU could've supported it.

The 1050ti cost around 190CAD and the Rx 480 costs 229CAD. I would be pairing with an i5 3450. I have a 1920x1080 monitor but usually just play games at 1440. I play games like CSGO and Rocket league because thats all I can run but I hope to move on to bigger and better things. Which one should I get?

Oh ya I also only have 4gb of 1300mhz ram. But am going to add another 4gb soon hopefully.

Since you already have the PSU for it, if you have the extra money for the AMD 480 it is a noticeable faster card than the 1050 TI, and it does have enough power to play reasonably in 1440.

The 1060 cost quite a bit more here at 320 for 6gb and 280 for 3gb. I think the 480 is the way to go for me.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking too.
