1050 or 1050 Ti? Please help...

[smoothbeginner100]

So, i'm getting a brand new setup this Christmas, so in about a month as of writing this.
I'm not sure whether to pick the 1050 or 1050 Ti, because my budget is 500€, and both cards(in my country) are within my budget, so far.Here are the specs of my planned PC:

- i3-6100
- MSI B150M Pro-VD
- 2x4GB Crucial DDR4 2133MHz
- Seagate 1TB 7200RPM
- 1050 or 1050 Ti?
- MS Frost II
- Antec VP400PC

As for intended uses, i have a YouTube channel and i'm planning to play or record causal games like KSP or simulations like Universe Sandbox/Space Engine.Yes, i'm a bit of a nerd 😛

I'm not sure what the resolution will be since me and my dad are having an ongoing debate whether to keep my current, VGA-powered 720p monitor and just buy an adapter, or to buy a new 1080p or sub-1080p monitor.

The 1050 ti is a more powerful version of the GTX 1050. So go for 1050 ti. It can do both 1080p and 720p very well.
