gpu Good GPU with Bad CPU

[Sylvnix]

Hello, this is my first post here so I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.

So this is my current system:
CPU: AMD Vishera FX-6300, 6 cores
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 250x
RAM: 32GB DDR3
Motherboard: MSI Gaming 970
PSU: Enlight, 600 watt 80plus bronze


So I'm planning to upgrade my GPU to a GTX 1050ti.
But my friend told me that it can toast the cpu or something?
and if I do the upgrade, will I get an improvement in for example, gaming, video editing / rendering, & game recording? or will it affects my system in a negative way?
should I do the upgrade, or wait to upgrade my CPU first? (I'm planning to switch to team blue, so new motherboard is going to be expensive)
or maybe I need to upgrade the psu first? (I already saw the PSU tier in this forum, and my psu is not good)

Thanks LTT Forum.

Should be fine together.

So it's fine for me to upgrade without worrying about my cpu being toasted? :')

I don't see why it would get toasted..

 

It will fit no problem!

You'll get an improvement in gameplay to an extent (in most games it won't be smooth), and any task that is currently running off your R7 250X. However, you probably won't see the proper performance of the 1050ti as your FX 6300 is slow, and will bottleneck.

alrighty then, thanks for the answer.
I'll save to upgrade my CPU after I got the 1050ti.

Yeah I'd personally say you're fine. But you'll find yourself having an upgrade either way.

The GTX 1050ti is an excellent budget option, nothing too hardcore put can still run most games!
Just don't expect any wonders.

 

As for rendering, video editing and such you'll see a bigger performance improvement with a new CPU rather than GPU.
For light to medium workloads you'll do fine with that, but again, no wonders here.
