Is this configuration good?

[xxzeddwixxx]

Hello guys. I'm going to buy a new PC mostly for gaming and graphic editing. Can you tell me which is better? Intel core i5 7400 paired with gtx 1050 ti 4GB or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 paired with gtx 1050 ti?
Will the gtx 1050 ti bottleneck the ryzen 5 1600 and is it better? The RAM will be 8GB DDR4. Also if there is a better configuration with the same budget like this tell me. Thank you.

For graphic editing the Ryzen would be better, but if you edit on a small scale you might not notice a difference.

GPU's don't really bottleneck CPUs, in a way they do but you just end up having extra CPU power to spare. No performance loss occurs because the CPU is still allowing the GPU to work at maximum potential.

If you are buying prebuilt, (which may be cheaper right now) you can probably get a GTX 1060 instead of the 1050 Ti.

What is your budget?

Thank you for your answer. My budget is about 1300 bulgarian lev (thats about $800 USD). I don't know what is the best for gaming and working station for this money. The problem is that I cant afford gtx 1060 for now. If I choose gtx 1060 I have to choose another lower cpu. Can you tell me the best I can do

If you have to buy now, ryzen 1600 based system would be better.
if you can wait a bit, i5-8400 paired with some no Z motherboard should be comparable in price while doing better job
The 7400 simply not worth it, the i3-8100 is more powerful.
You can put with those CPUs the best GPU you can afford (1050ti, RX 570 or whatever else, just not the 1060 3GB).

Do you have a specific store/website that you are buying from? I don't know their prices. What kind of graphic editing do you do?

Thank you for your answer. Is it good buy amd ryzen 5 1600 paired with gtx 1050 ti?

depends on your use and expectations.
it's very decent productivity (codding, office, virtualization, rendering etc) setup once you upgrade the RAM to a total of 16GB or more (again depending on what you are doing with it.).
as for gaming, it would be nice for 1080p. with some settings tweaking you will get 60+ FPS while still having nice visuals. though don't expect to run AAA titles on max graphics settings or high resolutions. first things to reduce to ease on GPU are shadow quality and AA - those are very tasking.

I will play games like CS:GO, Fortnite, GTA V and Call of duty. For graphic editing I mean music visuals, logos and Adobe After Effects. Think it will work good?
