[SOLVED] Best GPU for i3 4150

[Ahazuerus]

Hey guys , I'm trying to build a sub rig which has
i3 4150 ,
Kingston 4gb DDR3 ,
ASUS H81M
500gb HDD
Corsair CV 450W

What Graphics card can I run with this thing without bottleneck or any problem ?

I was thinking if the GTX 1050ti is fit for this build, or is it not ?

It's quite a basic setup - I would suggest you might want to increase the ram a bit if you intend of playing a few games on it - 8gb is really the minimum you need these days (especially if you are running Windows 10).

With regards to what GPU, a GTX 1050ti is a sensible choice performance wise, there's probably not much point going faster than that with an i3, if you wanted something more recent the GTX 1650 (maybe a 1650 Super at a push although I think the i3 would hold that back a bit, depending on the game). The AMD RX 560 or 570 cards might also be worth a look as are in a similar performance bracket and can be picked up pretty cheaply.

I see, maybe I'll add another 4gb to make it dual channel 8gb then. And as for the GPU maybe I'll find an RX 570 . Thanks mate. cheers !

What is your monitor's resolution and refresh rate? And, does it have FreeSync, GSync, or neither?

ASSUMING that the intent is to purchase a new card rather than used, and ASSUMING being located in the US, then the 1050Ti is a bad idea only because the RX 570 easily blows it away for about the same price.

For $160 (about $25 more than the cheapest RX 570 I'm seeing, or $20 more than the cheapest 1050Ti), there's a single-fan Gigabyte GTX 1650 Super available.

The RX 560 should not be considered. It generally performs at 1050 non-Ti level, and goes for about the same money as the RX 570.

A hair less powerful than the RX 570 is the GTX 1650 GDDR6.
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 DirectX 12 GV-N1656EAGLE OC-4GD 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6
It's on sale right now at $159.99, which isn't worth it until you consider that the $30 mail-in rebate brings it to $129.99.
Further, I used this code two days ago, don't know if it's still valid, or if you have to be subscribed to NewEgg's notifications for it to be accepted, but code EMCDPFK28 takes off another $20. At $109.99 and free shipping (in the US), it's really hard to argue with.

Nah , it's just an old samsung 1080p 60hz without any Gsync. I saw some benchmarks on YT and the RX 570 crushes the 1050ti for the same price. Thanks for the tip and I'll try the code man , thanks!!!
