Already have a 500Gb HDD. 

Please provide some good suggestions.

I really wanna keep my total budget under 800-850(you can recommend changing other parts if necessary except the monitor). 

I mainly play fortnite on low 1080p.

change the monitor to a 1080p 60-75Hz IPS one, then add RX 580

[Aidenbooy]

A good GTX 1050 Ti -

Sorry, I should have said it before, I wanna keep the 144hz monitor. 

[StarTheSoldier]

Will it be able to give 144fps in low settings?

If you want some good 1080p gaming, you could get a 1050 Ti or a 1060 if you feel like it. But really around that range it's better to get an AMD card because they have better value.

That is no kind of experience to be having imo. Games look terrible on low settings and I would much rather have ultra at 60fps than low at 144. 

 

As for which card to get, you should only be looking at RX 570s and RX 580s tbh. The 1060 3GB performs worse than any 570 and any RX 580 is a better value than a 6GB 1060

[bebejapes]

1060

6gb variant

I am also confused about which brand of those graphics card is better. Can you suggest me exactly which one?

Also, what should I change in my build so I don't go over my budget?

Thank you

Because I am used to playing on 144hz on my brother's PC I cannot play with 60hz So I would rather play on low settings than on low fps

since your based in the states you can go with evga since they have a service centre there. but any other will do. if you can splurge more go 1070

[Guest]

For sure an RX 580 could handle 144 fps on low settings. But you'd at least want to turn up some of those, given that it's not that important to maintain a full 144 for the whole time. At least to me, the look of the game being better at just 20 less fps is much better than turning down the settings to get higher frames at that level. you probably couldn't tell the difference between 120 and 144 fps.

[AngryBeaver]

A used 1060 6gb or a rx580. You can get a 1060 6gb pretty close to your budget these days new, but it will still go over a little.

 

The best you can do new for a full sized card is one:

Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GT OCV1 Video Card  ($239.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $239.99

 

You can get a EVGA mini variant for 229.99m but the full sized card is worth the 10 bucks.

You really want a 580 or 1060 imo

Only fortnite then just slap the cheapest RX 570 in there. They are like $150 I think

[kevinisbeast707]

As has been said many times, the rx570 on a sale would be your best bet but a 1050 ti is also a decent card if that fits your budget better. Side note, msi has some 144hz va optix monitors that would look much better while keeping the same refresh rate you're looking for at around $200. They also have freesync so if you did get an rx series card you could take advantage of variable refresh rate. Another thing that might be worth considering is a scepter monitor. They aren't as big a company as msi but they do seem to be the top competitors in terms of price/performance. Sceptre C248B-144R is one that I found that suites your criteria for $174 with a better screen at 144hz. Just food for thought.

thats true @Jurrunio . @StarTheSoldier amd has great offers that rival the nvidia the rx580 oc 8gb xfx card is a great buy
