Hey!!!

Please help me in deciding what to upgrade first 

whether to buy a Graphic Card GTX1050ti or Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB

I don't have more money please don't tell to either go for GTX 1060 or SSD of 500GB

For Graphic Card my budget is around only 12000 inr ($184)

For SSD my budget is around only 7000inr ($107)

Only one of them i can buy because of money constraint

Either of these two will be my first ever graphic card or ssd

please help please

I suppose it depends what your'e doing... if you mainly play games, the GPU will make the most difference by far, but for anything else, I would recommend the SSD for general computer usability and responsiveness.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

If you want to have faster boot times and make your system feel faster then go for the SSD.

If you want to be able to get better performance in games then go for the GPU

I would buy the GPU and then look for a second hand SSD,but I understand that that might not be an option. 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I don't think I've ever seen it that cheap but check to see if you can get it discounted or free through your school.  They may even provide a copy.

3Gb isnt really enough for 1080p, dont expect the card to last long before you need an upgrade.

I'm not sure where else you'd find it, but I guess any of the authorized retailers than also provide Windows and their other products.  I don't suspect they would be any cheaper though.

What games? That should be fine for low in some games today, my point is if OP wants to games to run in high-ultra that wont be possible for long.

I play World of tanks at med-high (70fps), Warthunder at med-high (60fps), Skyrim Special Edition on low-med w/ mods (Bout 50) 50 fps, Fallout 4 w/ mods (67) 45-50fps on low

Battlefield 4 high (apart from effects) 60fps so yeah!!

I wouldn't call any of those that intensive (Perhaps apart from fallout, but its on low, BF4 is well optimised).
