I have an intel i3 3220 with CM Elite Power 460W and plan to upgrade my graphics card really soon.I wonder which graphics card should I get because there is like 50$ difference in the price in my country. I know the RX 570 is better card but will my CPU be a bottleneck and is the PSU enough?
GTX 1050 Ti or RX 570 for i3 3220?

The RX 570 would be a great GPU since it''s 50-60% stronger, even in games where your CPU would be bottlenecking, you will also have a card that is more competent should you upgrade later on. My only concern with the Power Supply is that according to the manufacturers website it only features 1x 6 PIN PCI-e connector so you will need to make sure the RX 570 you get has a 6 PIN connector as many of them need an 8 PIN. Hope this helps 
*Edit* I'll post here if i find a good one with a 6 PIN you can use.
Okay after some digging most the mainstream cards like the Gigabyte G1/Aorus, Sapphire Nitro/Pulse, MSI Gaming X, etc. All needed 8 PIN connectors so they were out of the question. However, i found a Sapphire Mini that can be powered...

However, i found a Sapphire Mini that can be powered from your Power Supply with only 1x 6 PIN connector. See here >https://videocardz.net/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-4gb-mini/.

A new Power Supply wouldn't be a bad idea and the SeaSonic S12-II 520 Bronze is a great supply. I would only suggest doing this if you are happy to spend the extra money, it would allow you to get a full speed/size RX 570 or even a stronger card if you wished.
Thank you so much. I will think about it, but if i go with the GTX 1050 Ti, again the MSI version, is my PSU enough and am I going to need some kind of connector or I just uninstall the old drivers, update the bios, plug the card and play?
