I'd actually get an RX 480. it is a better value and can play most games in 1080p with ultra settings. It is around $200 for the cheapest models

Assuming you plan on upgrading later and Dont plan on gaming on AAA games on ultra then i would go with the 1050TI (or 1060 on a good deal) for now

If you can't work a 6gb 1060 in then go with the msi, no point in paying a ton more for an extra fan.

Since u are on a buget i think you are not going to "upgrade" in the next year or so. (I was in same situation)

I think the MSI one is good , and 3Gb of ram is ok , few games need more than 3gb ram at 1080p.

And one fan will work good, i have a gigabyte gtx 1060 3gb itx with one one fan and the temps are great.

I'd also do that but from what I learned on this forum is that in India AMD is overpriced as fuck. GTX 1060 3GB for 245$ imo out of those 3, but if OP can splash more for the 1060 6GB then that'd be a better idea.

I'd get the MSI 1050Ti because it simply has more VRAM available, but it has less clock speed though. But you can always push that up with MSI afterburner a bit.

The 1060 3GB performs within 5% of the 1060 6GB. The GTX 1050 Ti is far slower than either of them.

I know, I meant the 1060 3gb MSI with only one fan vs the Gigabyte 1060 with 2.

voted for the Gigabyte cuz i like them but get one of the 1060s, or if you can find the 470 @RKRiley posted a picture of get that

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I'm truly surprised that anyone would recommend the 1050ti given how big the performance difference is. At 50% or more faster it's a no-brainer.

CPU - Ryzen Threadripper 2950X | Motherboard - X399 GAMING PRO CARBON AC | RAM - G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4x8GB DDR4-3200 14-13-13-21 | GPU - Aorus GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce WB Xtreme Edition | Case - Inwin 909 (Silver) | Storage - Samsung 950 Pro 500GB, Samsung 970 Evo 500GB, Samsung 840 Evo 500GB, HGST DeskStar 6TB, WD Black 2TB | PSU - Corsair AX1600i | Display - DELL ULTRASHARP U3415W |
