Crozzstorm · Jun 15, 2017

so i have not been able to uses my PC for a few months now since my radeon r7850 grapics card died on me and im finally making the push to fix up my pc. i dont have that much to spend currently so im looking for something around $170
i have a great power sourse with a RM 650 so just looking for anything that can handle 2 monitors well

i dont play many graphics heavy games but looking to try and play destiny 2 when it comes out and while it seems the games spec requirements are not out i found predictions

i want to be able to run it above minimum

and way currently looking at the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC on new egg

You could look for a sale price on either a GTX 1060 3GB or an RX 470/570.

As far as RAM goes, reputable brands include Corsair, G-Skill, Kingston (HyperX), Crucial, and Team.

1050ti are on step below the 1060 3gb and 470/570
but considering the price, it's pretty alright, 1050 ti can handle AAA games on 1080p at med settings just fine
1060 3gb / 470 / 480 are beyond your target, but on rebate, they might go down just right about your budget
if u do want to step up a bit, don't go to 570, it's price is only slightly different to 480 but 480 gives much better performance
for RAM: Corsair, HyperX, G.Skill are the mainstream brand that people usually use

Destiny 2 counts as a new AAA game. So you'll want the fastest card you can get. If you can't find an RX 470 or 1060 3gb in your budget, then that leaves the 1050 Ti. I'm assuming your CPU is a good one.

assuming you have a decent setup, best card for that money would be a rx 470/ rx 570

If you are strict on your $170 the best card to get would be the 1050TI. There are a variety of cards to choose from but here is an example of one, actually the same exact one I have. https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-G1Gaming-Graphic-GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD/dp/B01M6Y671T/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498899562&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+1050ti This can run pretty much any modern game at 1080p 60fps considering you have a fairly decent CPU

The 1060 or a 970 would also be a great choice but for a considerably higher price but would last a lot longer without needing to ugprade.
