iv heard that the 1050 ti is amazing for the price, iv also heard that it is a trap and it is not all that good for the money.

please is it good or bad?

if bad what else should i do around the same price range?

 

thanks for the help :) 

The 1050ti is amazing if you are just popping a GPU into an old i5/i7 prebuilt/workstation that has a decent processor but no GPU power connectors coming off the PSU.  Since you can often pick up an ivybridge or newer i5/i7 workstation for only $1-200, you can have a solid 1080p gaming setup for very little money.

 

Outside of that application, when you actually have GPU power connectors available, the 1050ti isn't nearly as good of a deal.  An RX 470 (and now the 570 I guess) costs the same give or take $25 depending on what's on sale, and will absolutely stomp at 1050ti.  Sometimes you can even get an RX480 on sale in that price range.  Check /r/buildapcsales on reddit, there is almost always some form of 470/480 on sale every week.

the 1050TI is good if you are on a tight budget size and power wise but otherwise the 570 is a much better buy

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!

$600 budget build? Challenge accepted

If you wanna go ~$50 over budget but get a little better performance, get a 1500X. Or put the money towards an SSD

Unfortunately, when you're on that tight of a budget, and SSD really isn't an option. An SSD for the same price of that HDD would have ~1/2 the storage.

 

And Asrock has always treated me well. I'm sorry to hear about that though
