Ok so I'm looking to buy a new pc and I've found 2 offers and I don't know which is better for gaming.So the first pc is:

I5 2400
8Gb ddr3 ram
500gb HDD
Acer Q67H2-AM V1.1 mobo
GTX 1050 2GB

That one costs 330$

The second one is only 5$ more expensive and the specs are:

I5 661
8Gb ddr3 ram
500gb hdd
Acer Q67H2-AM V1.1 mobo
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

Obviously the other one has a better gpu, but I dont know will the dual core i5 bottleneck the gpu?

And the last thing, could an i5 3470 RX 550 outperform these bcz the better proccessor? Its the same proce as the second one

Thanks in advance for help

This is a hard one.

Basically, from fastest to slowest, the CPUs are:
i5-3470 -> i5-2400 -> i5-661

And, from fastest to slowest, the GPUs are:
GTX 1050Ti -> GTX 1050 -> RX 550

The RX550 is slower than the other graphics cards by a pretty wide margin. I'd skip that unless you've got the budget to get a better video card for it, or can live with the 550 (which is around equivalent to GT 1030 performance)

I'm having difficulty finding information about that motherboard. If it supports the second gen Intel CPUs, it should theoretically support the third gen ones as well. But, I even have conflicting results as to whether it's made by Acer or ECS.
