Is the i3 6100 and 1050 ti enough for gaming

[FelixTheOG]

Hello,

I am looking to build a pc to play Overwatch and other games and i was wondering if the i3-6100 and the 1050 ti was enough for it.

I want it too look good but be able to play Overwatch in 1080p and at high or ultra settings.

 

My price range is £550-£700 including the OS.

Thanks

well you might not get ultra, this is not the kind of budget, but this seems to be a pretty good combo.

It should be for 1080p. I don't know much about dual core CPUs and gaming. I would suggest you get a quad core i5 and you'll be set.

You'll do fine. (http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2658-gtx-1050-ti-and-1050-review-benchmarks-vs-460-more/page-5)

The dual core will unlikely be the limiting factor

It has hyperthreading it's enough

So, would i be better if i got the i5-6400 instead of the i3-6100.

Is it worth it to do that?
