[flimflam123213]

Hello, good day. I'm not an expert regarding computer stuff but i want to upgrade my graphics card from a 1050ti 4gb to a graphics card that can play at least DOOM Eternal, Monster Hunter and other hi-end games with hi fps & graphics, any suggestions? thanks!

MY SPECS:
MOBO: Asus TUF B-365 Plus
CPU: i5-9400f
PSU: Coolermaster 500w
RAM: 16gb

replace the PSU with a good >=750W to run e.g. a RTX3080

what´s your budget?

thanks! i don't really plan on getting the 3080 or the 3090, is there any gpu that you can recommend? and can my motherboard and CPU handle these graphics cards?

If you can find one at MSRP a 3060ti is a good fit with your processor for 1440p

In which case you are really just limited by how much you want to spend and what you can find in stock. I’d look at the 3060Ti or 3080. The 3070 is not worth the extra cost over the 3060Ti as it offers very little extra performance.

Edit: agree you need a psu upgrade

3060 it is, thank you! so i don't have to upgrade my motherboard and CPU just to get a 30 series GPU? just the PSU only?

Honestly you might not even need a new power supply if you are going with the 3060ti. Your power consumption will be around 400W with the 3060ti under load (according to the outer vision PSU calculator.)which is far under your PSU's limit. You would need to upgrade PSU if you wanted to pop a 3080 in there though.

I think that RTX 2070 is better for your system

Considering the 3060 Ti draws about the same amount of power as a 2070, while often performing around 30% faster, there wouldn't be much point in going with a 2070 at this point unless it were priced substantially lower.

Is there actually a good Cooler Master PSU at 500W? If this is one of the majority of Cooler Master's low-wattage series, which tend to range from mediocre to abysmal, I'd replace it for any discrete GPU which I acquired with money.
