[AndreLebrao]

I am about to by a budget gaming rig for around 500 US $ and i got about 180 left for the cpu, i am not doing any video editing. Do i buy a cpu with hyperthreading or a cpu with turbo boost?

Get a i5 6400. True Quad-Core beats hyperthreaded dual core any and every day.

Id get a rx470 instead of a 1050ti, its a good amount faster.

yeah that makes a lot of sense. Again, as mentioned before, you still need a case.

Will the psu handle it?

Yeah, no problem. That PSU can take a i5 and maybe up to a 1070. RX470 should be just fine
