Is the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti a good GPU for my PC?

[Burner1061]

I have an HP Pavilion p7-1534 with the specs:

AMD A8-5500 (plan on upgrading to A10-5800K)
8GB DDR3 RAM (plan on upgrading to at least 16GB)
Mobo: MSI MS-7778
300W power supply
1TB HDD

Would the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB be a good GPU? If not what would be better?

Amazon.com: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 128 Bit PCI-E Graphic Card (GV-N105TD5-4GD): Computers & Accessories

If you are using an integrated GPU, then yes, it's an improvement. That price tho, ouch!

I though that was a good deal? They should be cheaper?

Prices for GPUs are all out of whack these days.

Case in point, I"m selling a lightly used (I only used it for minecraft) GTX 1060 3GB card for 100$. According to the videos I"ve seen, my modest card smokes that 1050 ti in every test you can throw at it, so yea, I consider nearly 200$ to be a lot of cash for that card.

I mean, if you are willing to spend that cash, go for it, but I feel better deals can be had, unless you want new cards only

I would avoid buying new right now on the GPU market. Prices don't fall in the new market on sites like amazon and newegg as they already made their profits and don't care about a little extra stock (eventually it will get liquidated and sold off at auction). You should be able to pick up a 1060 on Ebay for at or near that price. I managed to get a 1070 about 2 years ago for $200 on the classifieds though they seem to be going for like $220-250 now in price. The 1060 3Gb which is also a good option seems to be around $130-150 and also a pretty good deal.

Don't buy anything right now wait for prices to go down. I got my Nvidia 1060 for 70$ used on eBay, works fine
