GTX 1050 VS. RX 560

[KlingerW]

Hello, its been a while since I've posted here and I need help building my very first gaming-oriented PC.

Currently my library of PC games includes Team Fortress 2 (TF2), CS:GO, and soon to be Overwatch, but due to PC limitations I require an upgrade

So the Question Is: 

~~~Should I get a GTX 1050 or an RX 560?~~~~~

here is a link to the PC build guide I'd like to follow, but not sure to follow it completely:

I'm searching for a good PC around $500

rx 560 4gb > 1050 2gb, 1050 2gb > rx 560 2gb, given that they cost exactly the same price.  Granted, both are overpriced right now, so looking used might be a viable option, given you are ok with the possibility not having a parts warranty (hopefully you won't break it )

ah ok thanks for the advice! I promise i wont break anything

watch out for which version of the 560 you get if you get one.  They make two versions with different core counts.  you want the 16 cu version with 1024 cores.

alright, ill be on the lookout for that, thanks!

I would get a 1050 over a Rx560 4Gb if you feel that you won’t care about playing at very high settings. As the 1050 does get more fps than the Rx560 in most game. (Just my suggestion)
