    Palit 1070ti Jet Stream vs MSI 1070ti Gaming

    Good day to you to dude. Without a doubt MSI, they have a great reputation for customer service and being super helpful with warranty claims. i personally have bought 2 MSI cards, a 970 and a 1070, both of which have performed higher than stated straight out of the box. MSI's cards are deadly...

    Want to upgrade my GPU

    Firstly if you intend to play AAA titles at the best possible graphics you will find that the 1070 ti and 1080 will not be up for the challenge. if your playing e sports titles or simply less demanding titles either will be fine, if this is the case go with the 1070 ti as it can be overclocked...

    MSI GTX 1060 Aero Itx VS Gaming X

    The Aero edition of all msi's card is essentially the base model, it isn't factory overclocked or had anything special done to it, as well as its cooling solution usually being smaller, less efficient and slightly louder. the gaming x is generally the best value as it is factory overclocked...

    If you want to wait till black Friday it could be worth seeing what deals you can get then, but even if you don't now is still the best time to buy a GTX 1080, they are almost half the price of what they once where which is astounding considering how powerful these cards still are today. but it...

    Trying to pick the right card for pairing with my cpu

    Ok, so to start of, yeah, an RX 570 would be fine with this CPU as long as your power supply is strong enough (400 Watts+) considering it is a 6 core CPU at pretty good clock speed you could actually go with a better card if you wished, something like a GTX 1060 or an RX 580. you could try a GTX...

    Whether to buy another GPU or a new one.

    1. It would totally depend on your budget - If $100 was your budget then yes, adding a second card is the best vaue for you, but only of your power supply and cpu are decent ( at least 550 watt or higher ) - if your budget was $200 - $300 you could go for something like a GTX 1060 6GB or maybe...

    Can gtx 1050 work on my motherboard?

    That should be perfectly fine for a GTX 1050, but anything much higher and your system will be a serious bottleneck. i would however recomend upgrading to at least 8GB of ram, which should be inexpensive as i believe that motherboard takes DDR2 RAM. 8GB RAM for $34 AUD - DDR2 8GB (2X4) EBAY
