So this is fine for everything (psu could be better) cept battlegrounds. I Just built almost this exact same rig for someone, and yeah you can play battleground with the CPU, but that 1050ti is going to struggle hard, even with medium settings its not ideal. Its not unplayable, but for high graphics on that game you need a 1060 or rx 580.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

Don't get a B3 PSU, see the Tom's Hardware review of the 450w B3, they have serious OCP protection issues.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
