Hi there,
I want to upgrade my PC and I was thinking about:

i3 7100 vs g4560
1050 ti vs 1060 3 GB
SSD vs no SSD

I'm a casual gamer (playing dota, For Honor, Killing floor etc.) and I wanted a pc that would run games without issues but also I want the best for my bucks so
Is i3 worth over pentium even if it's not that much better? Would it be a little more future proof?
Would they both run well with 1060 or they will bottleneck? Even so, is 1060 worth over 1050 ti?
I don't care about my PC getting ready in seconds, but will an SSD improve performance?

I know that i5 would be the best but I'm on budget and the lesser the better even if I could buy all of them.
I'm open to other advises or builds.
I have to change motherboard, ram, CPU and GPU.
I'm not a Intel fanboy, but for what I found they are better in almost any case expect for multi tasking things

Pentium with 1060 3gb mate by a long way.
1060 is worth it over the 1050ti if your drumming 1080p.
No i3 is worth it over the g4560 , close to double the price for maybe 10% more performance ??

An ssd makes the whole system a lot more snappy in general use .
It'll cut down on initial game loading times, Ingame performance though ?? No it doesn't affect that at all.

Ssd , nice to have if you can afford one easily.
Don't compromise on CPU or GPU strength to get one in though, that's not worth it.

So it will be 66€ on Pentium, 235€ for 1060 3gb (I play at 1080 obviously)
Would it be better to get 270€ 1060 6 gb?
RX 580 costs 270€ and RX 570 210€, are they worth over 1060?

I think the CPU is ideal for its price and I don't want to spend a lot, but as a casual user would it be better to get some more power?
Like Ryzen 1400 at 175€, Ryzen 1500x 200€, Ryzen 1600 225€ or i5 7600k 235€, i5 7400 180€ as they are quite more powerful.
I repeat that I don't want to spend a lot since it's a little wasted on me, but also I want a PC that would go on for some year without issues.

And last, what motherboard do you suggest? I have no idea on what to choose, I have found Asus B250-pro at 100€ or B250M-k at 75€

Thanks for the replies.

I suggest you to get an R5 1400 /R5 1500X at the very least. Also, pair it with a fast DDR4 RAM kit if you can (~3000mhz) to get the best of the cpu A dual core (even a hyperthreaded one) is not cutting it in 2017. I know you don't want to spend a lot but in the long term you won't regret your decision. I would get an RX 570 8gb (or 4gb if you are really on a budget) in your case.
