Hi so I am selling my dirtbike for about 1000 and I was thinking about purchasing myself a pc from the help of my current build (GTX 1050 Ti 4gb SSC edition overclocked | AMD FX-8350). I am thinking of buying a i5 8600k. I was just wondering if this is a good combo below. LMK if I need to change anything.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SSC GAMING ACX 3.0

Intel BX80684I58600K 8th Gen Core i5-8600K Processor
 
Solution
Not really, it is a mismatch, the CPU is way more powerful than the GPU so you are wasting money. If you want to go with an GEN 8 Intel then you might want to look at either the i3-8100

or the i3-8350K

I would be buying the 8350K. Be aware that the Z370 mobos are on the pricey side.

But remember he said its not good to fill up with big power supplies that have more than needed watts
 
Yes, seriously and really. It is not an answer to say something is wrong without saying why or how and/or giving the correct answer.

I have no idea what "a performance of different scales" means relative to the rendering process. Here, read this, it explains what rendering and rasterization are (specifically to computers).

If I write the way I do I suppose it is because I have multiple engineering degrees, sorry for being too technical. But this is getting the poster nowhere and I am not into this sort of exchange so I am done. Again, sorry.

 
The reason why having too big of a PSU is an issue is related to how certain components like capacitors behave when run at low power.

First, an example is an electrolytic capacitor
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supplies-101,4193-3.html

which in response to an applied current generates a oxide layer on an anode to form the dielectric. Varying the applied voltage will cause changes to the oxide layer thickness which in turn changes the electrical capacitance of the device. If the capacitor is constantly run at the low end of the voltage range this oxide starts to "harden" and the capacitor loses it operating ability. This is just one effect of constant low power usage. There are others as well like decreased power efficiency.
