Pc upgrade

[Destrolliex1572]

I have a 1050ti , ryzen 1300x and single channel 8gb of ram . I was thinking of geting a rx 570 but would be getting 8gb more ram be better since i have a ryzen cpu . What would be the best option here?

dual channel ram would be a decent upgrade

570 and 1050ti are pretty similar so if you are gonna upgrade your gpu you should go with something a little better ex. 580-1660 range

also get a ssd if you dont have one

Dual channel RAM is always ideal. As long as your 1050Ti is running ok, I don't see why you shouldn't go up to dual channel memory. On Ryzen, dual channel can give you sizable fps increases; RAM speed also helps significantly.

 

What's your budget and what speed of RAM do you have now?

um..... no they arent........ the rx 570 is roughly 60% faster....... they cost roughly the same. 

 

 

OP: pick up another stick of Ram and either a rx 570, rx 580, or gtx 1660

sry my bad thought they were pretty similar due to the cost

cost doesnt reflect performance. they just dont, especially not between different GPU and CPU manufactuerers

I dont have the budget availiable to get both . After this upgrade (if i get ram) i will have to wait 4 months till i get enough money to get the 570

I would try to get 2666MHz at a minimum. idk if its the same in Turkey or not, but Corsair RAM has poor value over competing brands. In the US, you can get a 2x8 kit of G.Skill 3000Mhz for $90 USD; a single G.Skill 3000Mhz kit might fit in your budget, I'd shop around. Though I might get a 2x4 if I were you, your current RAM might not OC to 3000Mhz.

I already have 1x8 gb of ram . The cheapest 8gb ram i can find here is 60$

hmmm, I wonder if its even dual channel.... I would hope so, but you never know on cheap boards. 

 

3000MHz 8GB of G.Skill Aegis is $40 USD on Newegg.
