Getting GPU and RAM

[hibariokcej22]

Hi,

I'm from the Philippines. I'm planning to get a GPU for my PC and I also want to replace my RAM. What can you suggest(practically)? I only play games like DMC, GTA V, etc.

SPECS:
Motherboard: EMX-A58FM2+HD-iCafe
Processor: AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G, 3100 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

Budget and monitor resolution?
Also, what is your PSU model?

That CPU will likely bottleneck any modern GPU, so don't expect Ultra settings with 60FPS in current games.

PSU: P4 - 700W
Monitor: 1280x1024 (I also want to replace this)

I'm okay with running those games in high/mid settings. Thanks

If you're okay with med settings and pretend on upgrading the monitor to a 1080p later on, grab yourself a nice GTX 1050Ti.

It's a cheap and great option for that resolution with the criteria you wish for.

If you're looking for a High/Ultra, then definitely a GTX 1060 3GB(preferably the 6gb) is the least you wanna wish for.

Greatly appreciated . By the way, I've read something about R7 like I can use dual graphics with the CPU I have right now. I'm just curious about that but if 1050Ti is better, I'll get it. Thanks

If by dual-graphics you mean Cross-fire then yeah, it's possible. But i'm not really sure of which model of AMD GPU you will have to use to make it work with your APU. It will have to be a very specific model, otherwise it won't work as intended and you'll be left with a weaker GPU.

With that said, the 1050Ti is much better as you can see here:
http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1050-Ti-vs-AMD-R7-370/3649vs3571
(Do not trust so much in these kind of comparisons, always prefer real benchmarks. I'm just trying to point out an example)

So, you can either try to get a GPU that's the exact equivalent of your APU and Cross-fire them, or grab a juicy new GPU(faster as well) and do not worry a single bit about it and enjoy.
