I'm fairly new to the pc world and I want to upgrade my GPU. I am stuck between a gtx 1030 and 750ti. I saw some on aliexpress but I'm too scared to buy it. if anyone can be of help, that will be awesome.

 

My current pc specs are:

GT 730 ddr3 2gb

6gb ddr3 ram

400w aerocool PSU

intel i3 2120

1x 500gb HDD

1x 1TB HDD

750Ti seems a little better than a 1030, however, cost difference and location of purchase need to be taken into account. ( if you dont trust buying from a certain place dont )

Don't buy from AliExpress.

I'd see if you can save a little more and grab a used RX570. They're quite cheap.
