GPU vs CPU

[solomon Hunter]

So in my current cart I have ryzen 3 1200 and gtx 1060 3gb. Should I go with the ryzen 5 1600 with gtx 1050 ti if I want more FPS. Or is there an alternative I can go with. This will be my first pc buidld so I need everything to go smooth because I won't upgrade for months or even a year. Should I go with Intel since im only doing gaming. Sorry So many questions.

I'd go with the faster gfx card for now. I just built a Ryzen 3 1200/GTX 1050 Ti for someone. The 1200 has plenty of headroom for a faster card. And OC'ed... almost any card. The 3GB 1060 will be a bit more limiting if you like lots of eye candy compared to the 4GB 1050 Ti. But that's the trade-off if you can't go the 1060 6GB.

So, you're basically saying I should go with 1050ti. I'll be playing games like over watch and GTA V. But, I don't have experience in build a pc and I just want to play it safe.

You seemed to indicate that you were more concerned with fps than anything else. In that case go with the 1060 3GB. It is faster than the 1050 Ti 4GB. I just wanted you to realize that if you like high details, textures, lots of AA, AF, DoF, then the more VRAM the better. But the games you mentioned are happy with 3GB.

Need more of a constant fps and above decent video quality. I guess fps isnt bad but i also want quality

Tough call between those two cards. FPS vs VRAM. If AMD's cards were priced back in the mix again, I'd suggest the RX-570. But they are still over-priced due to the mining. You're going to have to decide on what is most important... or spring for the GTX 1060 6GB.

Don't misunderstand, the 3GB GTX 1060 is enough VRAM for most games today. But 3GB will become more and more limiting as new games arrive.

Ok thanks. Since this will be my first time building i'll go with the more budget friendly 1050 ti then upgrade to a 1060 6gb if I want to play more modern games.
