i5 2500 Graphics card combo?

[raydan3455]

Hi, I would like to know a good graphics card for my i5 2500, any suggestions? (WILL BE PLAYING IN 1080p).

PC Specs:
CPU: i5 2500
PSU: 650W
Current GPU: AMD 5770
RAM: 12GB
Games: Mostly Overwatch, Paladins, and TF2.

For those games a 1050ti will be easily enough power, but you could go up to a 1060 6gb without bottleneck

you could go up to a 1070 but on busy servers there would be a bottleneck

1060 6gb is the way to go

I would go with the 1050 ti, price is reasonable and it would be a massive improvement over your 5770 and would pair well with that CPU.

Considering the fact that you've managed to game on that 5770 all this time, and considering the types of games you play, a 1050 Ti is the one I recommend. It'll handle just about any game at 1080p, the worst you'd have to do is reduce settings(on demanding games) to keep your framerate up. It's also a good match for your CPU in general and it's not that expensive in these days of mining inflation. There's nothing wrong with getting a 1060 but you'd be paying for extra performance you won't be using.

Any thing higher than a gtx 1060 will bottleneck. I have a gtx 1070 with a 2500k clocked at 4.9ghz and there's sometimes a bottleneck. My other rig is just a 2500 and I upgraded to a gtx 980. If you can find a good deal on one of those, that's another decent option.
