is the cpu bad with this gpu?

[rico1-marques]

is the i7 8700k with 1050 ti a lost of money?
If it is what should i be to be "compatible" with the 1050 ti 4gb.

 

[sizzling]

An 8400 would be a great pairing with the 1050Ti. Are you gaming at 1080p 60Hz? A 1050Ti cannot utilise the gaming potential of a 8700k

 

[Gam3r01]

It depends on what you want to use the system for, and what you have now, but it would be a waste of money in most cases.
If you are gaming, get something like a 8600k and a 1060/1070 instead.

any components you own?
budget?
Major usage?
monitor resolution and refresh rate?
living in US?

In general, yes. 8700k is kind of the top CPU while 1050ti is far weaker than the king, 1080ti.

i game at 1080p 60hz , i wanted to wast like 600$ thats my budget and im trying to upgrade from amd to intel, but iwanted to get a good cpu for good fps, i have a 1050 ti 4gb and i dont know what cpu i should get to combine with it.

 

[madmatt30]

I5 8400 or ryzen 2600/2600x.

Anything more is going to be wasted money.

For 600 and 1050 ti at hand, this is the way to go (any modern cpu is fine, but coffee lake/ryzen 2 give you potential to upgrade GPU in the future):

[rico1-marques]

should i buy a i5 8400k, for overcloacking?

 

[rico1-marques]

and waht motherboard should i get?

 

[vapour]

There is no 8400k only 8600k
You will need to add ~100-200 more to the budget

 

[rico1-marques]

i already have an hard drive and a case a mid tower, if u could do a upgrade with an i5 8600k it would be cool...
