GT 1030 vs GTX 1050 ti vs GTX 2050

Note: I Am Very Open to Opinions

 

This is my first PC build, so I want to make sure I get it right. I want to at least play modern games like Dota, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fortnite, etc, etc on at

 least 1080p 60 fps on Med/High Settings. And I need it soon... I have a few options,

1. I could get a GT 1030 for now and get a Higher end GTX card once the prices come down or the GTX 20 series cards come out in like a billion years

2. Buy an overpriced GTX 1050 (Maybe ti)

3. Completely stall on the PC build until the new cards come, but then again, I need the PC pretty soon, 

4. Buy a GTX 1050 ti one the price dips below $200

 

Again, very open to opinions, please help! THX!

2050 will be the best.

 

1050/1050Ti are pretty capable, but overpriced.

 

1030 is capable of some light gaming, but I wouldn't personally buy it.

 

What is your location? On my Craigslist listings, I normally see GTX 970s and 980s for 150-200 USD.

Quote or tag me( @Crunchy Dragon) if you want me to see your reply

Used GTX 970/980/R9 390/390X? Maybe you could even find some old R9 Furys, between the 1070 and 1060 in performance.

I'd say Ryzen 5 2400G is the best deal. Integrated graphics is enough for basic games while you wait for the new card

Depends on how much money you want to invest later on.

If you plan to buy a Ryzen 1700 and a 1070, 2070 or whatever it may be, then settle for a barebone pc buy APU until you get all the necesary money. If you are not planning to invest in the near future go the best you can buy today and hope it lasts. I'm asuming you cant wait Nvidia to get their shit together and launch pascal successor.

Not for his requirements. Check Jokers game tests on the APU's he used TR and some others like PUBG etc.

I know that. My point is that 2050 is... Well we know nothing about it, including price and release date (In Pascal the 1050ti is released 4-5 months after the 1080, but 2080 isnt even here yet). 1050ti is expensive, 1050 cant exactly get the job done with satisfaction, 1030 is the worst value choice out there. That's why I recommend using an APU that can get some of the work done first (seems like OP is running out of patience quickly) while waiting for the new stuff.

The thing is, I need a GTX 10 or 20 series card, not an AMD or previous Gen cards.
