GPU or NOT

[Potatoe master 420]

SO... let me break this down my current GPU Is a N760 TF 2GD5/OC MSI which is being lent to me by a good friend. my old GPU is a GTX 550TI Gigabyte WIndforce now i wanna upgrade, on a realy realy cheap budget im looking at a EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5 which on amazon u can get for $150 and i'm sure i can sell my 550 for at least $65 that leave 85 dollars for GPU is there any other good GPU for a price rand of $100-$160 that u might suggest and what would you do in my situtation thanks (soory for spelling )

Whats your CPU?
If you can save up a little bit more, go a for an rx470 instead, not much more than a 1050ti but better performance.

my CPU is  a 4 core I5 650 @ 3.20 GHZ

I guess you could buy 750ti, only 100$ on amazon. The difference probably won't be enormous between the two. (1050ti and 750ti)

i have in my PC right now   N760 TF 2GD5/OC MSI is that not better than a 750TI?

 

[Underi]

Well, if it is, there is no idea in buying a 1050ti because they are almost the same? 

EDIT : There is barely 200MHz difference between your GPU and 1050ti SC.

Not true.  The card is slightly above a gtx 960, which is about 40% faster than a 750 ti.  The naming convention of maxwell and pascal are different and doesn't really reflect the card's league of performance.

 

As for selling your 550 ti, honestly don't expect much for it.  Around here you can get them for $35 USD.

None of the newer 10 series cards, its around a 970 performance wise

so it would be a somewhat noticeable upgrade from a  N760 TF 2GD5/OC MSI  to the RX470?

Get a cheap used GPU and save your money on a more powerful one I got an R9 270X for 49.50 used... You might be able to get a similar deal

That card is a great option!  I know a friend who has one and he's satisfied. I'd go for the 6GB version tho.
