First budget gaming build

[SpicyCactus]

I'm building my first pc, upgrading from console. As my first build, I'm not sure if this will be good enough to play some new AAA'S at 1080p for a good price:

There is an rx 480 that is only 20 pounds more expensive than the 1050 ti. Get it, It's much faster than the 1050 ti :

i suggest a older i5

 oem mobo

new ssd and hdd

new or used ram whatever is cheaper

Go with a more powerful cpu you are going to bottleneck that gpu. Also Id personally start with just the wd blue, you can always upgrade to a ssd later spend that extra money you get on the cpu. Windows is also only about 20€ on kinguin just be sure to buy the buyer protection

Yes that is a good deal I May consider that but will it bottleneck the cpu?

Nope you should be fine. The pentium doesn't bottleneck an rx 470 (which costs the same as that 480 in the uk) which is only 8% slower than the 480 so you should be fine.

The pentium can handle cards much faster than the 1050 ti

However upgrading in the future would almost certainly result in the cost of a brand new cpu. Id personally get a better cpu and get its added "future proofing"
