Which one is better for gaming?
I7 3770 and GTX 1050(no ti) and a gigabyte h61m ds 2 LGA 1155 motherboard with 8 gb memory ram or
I3 7100 and GTX 1050Ti and a gigabyte h110 motherboard
But with 4 gb memory ram

If you already have the old PC then upgrade it. If you can only get 4GB RAM on the new system then it's not worth it unless you can upgrade that soon after.

Though I'm confident there is no game in which the i3-7100 would limit the GTX 1050 Ti, making that system (if they both had 8GB system RAM) faster than the i7 + GTX 1050. If you wanted to do more multi-tasking while gaming then that might be a different story.

But why do you have to choose between the i7-3770 + GTX 1050? Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the GTX 1050 Ti and the i7-3770 rather than buying the new system with the i3-7100?

Even if you had to move down to an i5-3570 get the 1050 Ti instead. Unless you are doing more than just gaming, like streaming and gaming.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from gavinraditya04 : "PC parts options"









I have an old pc with a GT 730, i3 3210 and a Gigabyte h61m ds2 which is very old, it can only support up to gen 3 only which is why the option to upgrade to i7 3770 and GTX 1050.

Or the i3 7100 where i build a new PC with GTX 1050ti and a new motherboard that supports LGA 1151.
