Recomendations for a pc upgrade.

[XLonewolf666X]

Ok so im at mexico right now and i have a budget of 600 us dollars ($12000 pesos). Since im blue team guy (Intel) i want to upgrade my Pc for good high maxed graphic quality in my games at 60 fps. Right now my pc has a I3 7100, a GTX 1050 ti from EVGA (just the normal one), a Adata 16gb ddr4 ram at 2400mhz, a Gigabyte H110M-H motherboard which i updated the BIOS, a Gamefactor 400w PSU and a 1tb Hard drive from Western Digital Blue. ¿So what can i upgrade for my needs just to be safe from here till the next year or two? (The picture of my pc us all dusty dont worry i already gave it a clean and a clean cable management).

I assume 1080p?

you're forgetting that h110m doesn't support 8th gen, he needs a new motherboard

Almost $60 usd over his budget though

oh shoot, he's using an old mobo

Didn't realize, thanks for pointing it out to me.

I know, but you're getting way better performence with it, and i was assuming he's going to sell the old stuff. you could still use the 1050 ti, and you're good for another 2 years. but it's worth the upgrade to go to something like a 1070, 1060 6gb or 580 8gb

[DVA]

Honestly see if you can somehow get $60 usd more to get what @LukeSavenije said. Pretty much the same thing I said but with a new mobo, tons more SSD space. Mini gpu's are no worse than a full sized gpu. They get a little hotter, yes. But it will do great.

Im on the green team so im going to stick with my 1050 ti but what upgrades can i do for good graphics at 1080p since i dont care about the cool awsome looks on others pc's or the overly priced  i want more performance (sorry if i spelled that out), or even getting more fps at good graphics since the 1050 ti i bought was the most expensive for me. Since notice on mexico idk if cregg list exist here i bought my components on Mercado Libre Mexico.

Since you want to stick with Nvidia, and you have an i3-7100, I'd recommend a GTX 1060, if you're going new. If not, I'd recommend going with a used GTX 970 or GTX 980.

1440p or 4k high/ultra settings wont be possible anyway

 

For PSU, check the PSU tier list in the power supply subforums. Anything 550w or more and tier 3 or better will do. Gold or Bronze rated, it doesnt matter.

 

Instead of the 8400 CPU you should try find an i7 6700/7700 used if possible, or i5 7500/7600 or 6500/6600 if not.

 

Then the graphics card. 1070ti is the best value high end card atm, but if budget doesnt allow get a 1060 6gb or RX580, whichever's cheaper.

[XLonewolf666X]

Ok idk if creegg list (surely i missed spelled that) makes shipping towards mexico i buy my stuff at Mercado libre and the 1070 its to over priced its 12000 or 14000 pesos for a Ti (around 600 and 700 US dollars).

...yeah, no that's EXTREMELY overpriced. In the United States, you can pick up a GTX 1070 for $340 USD, or ~6400 pesos. As for the GTX 1070 TI, $390 USD, or ~7300 pesos.

i know that the 9 series are 4gb and last series but they ate also expensive as a 1070 here on mexico.

They're as expensive as 1070's? That's just a scam. If you're paying that much for a graphics card, you should just go for a 1070.

i wish i was at the US but yeah graphics cards here on mexico are so expensive but the 1050 ti i bought it new for $4500 pesos it is the most expensive pc component i bought.

Don't feel ashamed, the 1050 TI is pretty good for 1080P. Didn't know GPU prices are like that in Mexico, sorry to hear that. Hope you work this out.

a 3gb or a 6gb?

If the 3GB version is a lot cheaper, go for that. If there's not a very big price difference, however, go with the 6GB version.

yeah to over priced its hard and a overkill. So many overtimes i did at work, sweat from me to build my first gaming pc. I feel great but also mad if the gpu's were a bit more cheaper.

3gb goes for 5k i think and a 6gb i think 7k. but doesnt that bottleneck?
