Hi there. I have a very tight-budget build which I bought for only 140 dollars. Here are the specs of my gaming rig:

 

Core2Quad Q9400 clocked at 2.67 Ghz (Can't overclock it because BIOS is locked)

8 GB DDR3 RAM

1 TB HDD 

Geforce GT 730 2gb GDDR5

300W PSU

As you can see I have a very shitty graphics card and I wanna upgrade it.

 

I am thinking of getting a RX460, 750ti or the new 1050ti. RX 460 is a bit cheaper than all of these but it is not available in my country. If I get a 1050ti then, will the cpu bottleneck the 1050ti? If not, then I am surely going with 1050ti because it doesn't need any external power.

i think you are safe to go with the 1050ti or just go with the 1050, but if it bottlenecks it should not effect performance by a lot

Oh okay, thanks for the reply. I think the 1050ti is more future proof than the 1050 because it has 4 gigs of VRAM.
