This is my first build and I'm trying to keep under £600. I've got the things I need on PCpartpicker. Am I getting good value for money? Is there something I should allocate more budget to? I want to be able to game on medium/high on a full-HD monitor with two outputs for two analogue SD monitors.

 

Thanks!

Get a 570 instead, better value than 1050ti, but all good otherwise. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Thanks for the reply. What sort of gains could I expect with a 570? Approx £20 difference on lowest prices.

The 570 would get about 20-30 more FPS in games on average over the 1050ti.

Do you have HDD? If so, get RX 470/570 like others say

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
