Hello,
I just want to know which budget build is better, for casual gaming with games such as: Minecraft, Overwatch, Rocket league etc.

Should i buy: i3 6100, gtx 1050 ti, and 6gb ram.

Or i3 6100, gtx 1050, 8gb ram.
I've read threads where people say that you need 6gb ram, so i just want some advice on which i should get for me. Thanks!

Sadly couldn't go for Pentium G4560 for only 2 dollars more because then you'd need a more expensive motherboard. But this is just a bit behind.
Anyways this should kick ass in your games.

Can I use 6gb of ram instead of 8gb? Sorry I forgot to mention this but i need a operating system. Or I can just get a os on ebay, as it cost a lot more on pcpartpicker
 


If you need money for OS then I would shorten out on Vram instead. And it's not PCpartpicker that has it's own price, it's other online stores.
 
That changes the dynamics completely. You can download the OS for now and save some money to purchase a Key later on. Your pc will still function, without updates though. Ebay is not a very good place to buy stuff, unless you have verified the product authenticity.

Edit: Getting 6gb ram instead of 8gb wont save you much to purchase windows. But that extra 2gb of ram might hinder some games to function properly. Nowadays games tend to use more ram than before and 8gb is the standard these days for the latest games.
