Is this a good buy and upgrade?

[Vepy]

 

I'm thinking about buying a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 1050TI used, and I have a pc shipping in with an EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTS250 512 MB.

Odd that you said it's a 1050ti, but the picture shows a 1050

 

a good upgrade either way

It's just an image from google, the actual one is a TI, but is it worth the price?

Your processor will probably bottleneck a 1050ti. 

 A 1030 might be a better choice.

1050ti is a good card, but imo I will get a 1060 at all cost

I would have no clue, but the pc that's shipping to my house comes with the RX570, and the userbench score's are basically -1,000%

I don't think so, the RX 570 destroys the 1050Ti.

Ohh wait, I read it wrong the first time around. Thought you were talking about the one that was already in the pc. My bad

what country are u from, if you are from the US there are way better deals right now.

So.... with that motherboard you can go all the way up to a Core 2 Quad Q9650, which isn't bad, little pricy for what you get, as they are mostly going for $40 used, the Q9550 is a little cheaper at $30, mind you these are eBay prices. If you can swing it, I'd try and just get a used Nvidia GTX 970 or 980, it would be a better deal than the GTX 1050ti and I'm seeing used 980s for around 170-200 USD on eBay.

you can easily sell RE2 and division 2 for 80bucks total, the 580 is like 60bucks more, but budget's budget
