Here's my choices

XFX RX460 2GB GDDR5 124$
Palit GTX 1050 Ti - 160$
Palit GTX 1050 Ti OC - 165$

How much is a 470 for you? It should be around that price. $160-$175 and it's much better than a 1050Ti

thanks for the response, some people here responded that 1050 ti will bottleneck my cpu, that's why i get confused.

Bottlenecking isn't a bad thing sometimes.Good to get a RX 480 or something now and when you have more money get a cpu upgrade

My life

this a U.S. thing? I saw a rx-470 and a r9-380 in your price range. don't know how they compare to the 1050's listed. you'd have to look.

yesterday or the day before newegg had a 480 for 160-140 after rebate. you showed up a day late m8.

no im from the Philippines, here are the peso value, just divide it to 48 to convert to $.

XFX RX460 2GB GDDR5 - 5950 php
Palit GTX 1050 Ti - 7700 php
Palit GTX 1050 Ti OC - 7950 php

I'm not familiar with where you have to buy stuff. I feel for you.

try and get the best card for your money. that's all I can say. I think the 1060ti has the better performance of the 2. Not sure how much an over clocked version will do for you. watch some internet vids from all around so you're best informed.

As far as I see this situation, it's like you will be upgrading your CPU and Mobo in few years, so you could go even further than 1050ti or 470, In upgrading path vice. I would put my money on 480 or 1060, cos those are plenty powerfull for few years to come, and when you heave them out of the system, you can just fit them to the old system and let them run cooler cos bottlenecked they don't need to run as hard as on the faster cpu.

Anyways it's all about the budget and it's ok that you have cpu bottleneck. Probably the gpu will run cooler and quiter. "just maybe" 

If you are not plannin to upgrade system in few years, sure, go for 1050 ti or 470. (It's again your uppgrade path, your money and budget)

Remember, it's not a "crime" to cpu bottleneck your current system, as it seems to be for some people, the worst thing ever.

 

I have often ended up with cpu bottleneck, and when i have upgraded rest of the system, it has been in some balance untill i have upgraded the gpu again, and ended up cpu bottleneck again. Not a problem unless you wana make it a one. It's all about your upgrade cycle and budget.

Anyways i recomend swich that apu to non apu cpu what sits in that FM socket. Those can be optained very cheap as used.

Sorry for the wall of messy spelling and errors.
