Hi, I know that it is a huge price difference but considering that this is a new build I would try to upgrade to a 1060 6GB, and maybe an SSD, that would make it a more balanced system. I've built a couple of systems with the 7100 and 8100 for friends and family and I think the 8100 is a surprisingly capable processor

Ok thank you so much. But 1050ti would be fine?

yes, no prob, just know that your processor is faster than the equivalent i3 7100 7th gen, so as @Valkyrie Lenneth said, you can even go up the gpu chain to a 1060 6GB and it will handle it like a champ

I assume you are going to use the PC for gaming only? Or will it have other uses too (photo editing, video editing etc.)?

What games do you play?

Do you have a certain budget in mind?

I would definitely add an SSD to your setup. It's 2018 after all

I don't see any issues with this build. Increase RAM/faster RAM in the future maybe, but it's an okay build.

What's your current PC? What do you need your PC for?

More than likely just get a Ryzen APU while GPU pricing sucks and save the rest of your budget for a better GPU in a few months.

i personally would keep the rig as it is, get a ssd instead

Please please please get an SSD. Over the past 15 years of building and ocing computers, the jump from HDD to SSD was the single best performance boost I ever noticed. Right after that was going from Pentium 4 to Core 2 duo.

Yes I'll only use it for gaming. I play PUBG most of the time.

The parts you're looking at are hardly an upgrade, save your money

If you're trying to upgrade for PUBG it runs like crap on just about any PC.
