Will a 1050 Ti bottleneck an i5-8400? + Extras

ayee.senpai

I'm building a new computer for birthday and Christmas. I have a 1050 Ti and am also throwing in a low end z370 board or mid tier h370 (which ever one has a better deal at the time), 16gb of Corsair Vengence, an ssd and a hdd. Will my 1050 Ti seriously affect my gaming performance at 1080 by 1920 with medium-high settings? If so, should I overclock to make up for it? (Side Notes: I'm upgrading from an Athlon II x4 620 and my graphics card will be my next upgrade when needed, as the 6 core 6 thread 8400 will be good for a long time) Also, my brother will be inheriting my dad's old FX-8350 but will also have a 1060 6gb. Who will have the worse bottleneck?

Of course it will, that's what it's supposed to do.

 

Most likely your brother will have better average fps with more stuttering.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Why not put the 1060 6GB in with the i5 8400 and have the FX8350 with the 1050ti?

To further specify, your minimum fps would be VASTLY higher. I can give specifics since I've had both an FX 8350 and a 4790k (the 4790k is almost 1:1 with the 8400 in terms of fps in games.) Lets say in GTA V you get a min/max/average of 45/100/65, the FX system would get 25/80/65. Long story short the i5 system would give a massively smoother experience overall, less stuttering fps drops etc.

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.
