(My Pc build is in the signature) I would upgrade the 1050 to a 1060 6Gb (make sure it is a 6gb) because it would be able to take advantage of the 144Hz display better. If you sell the 1050 for enough I would add an SSD to the build as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 11, 2017 -Thread moved to New Builds and Planning. The best thing to do would be to save it, if you can't think of what to spend it on now.

Keep games you play less and bulk file storage on the HDD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I were you I would try to get the SSD over a HDD for the added speed to the overall computing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
