your cpu is going to limit your fps

You only have a 300w PSU, so without upgrading that, I'd say get a 1050 (non-ti). or you can upgrade the PSU and probably go for a 1050ti or a RX 470.

Will there be a considerable difference in graphics if I did switch from AMD Radeon HD 7570 to GTX 1050 (non-ti)?

Would you say it's worth it to upgrade my AMD FX-8100?

There should be a significant performance increase from the upgrade. I'd say that if you compare it to the generation your current GPU is in, the 1050 would perform similar to a 7950.

I know you asked the other poster, but your motherboard supports up to a 8150, which will get you some extra speed, you should notice a difference, but I wouldn't expect a massive improvement. Trying any other CPU would be a gamble on whether it will work. HP was rather specific on that link I posted before, about what CPU's are compatible.

I wouldn't upgrade the CPU but I would upgrade the videocard, to a 1050. I think it's the best price/performance choice for your game.

I think I will go ahead and update my GPU to the GTX 1050 and upgrade my CPU to AMD 8150. It seems like the cheaper option for me and I will still get decent improvement. Eventually I will have to invest in a real gaming PC, lol. Thank you very much for all your help, Martell!

I'm just going to grab a new graphics card instead. Just deciding on what to get where I don't need to upgrade my PSU.

You are looking at a GTX 1050 without having to replace the PSU, anything beefier than that and you would really be pushing the PSU and raise the risk of killing the machine. You probably require a model that doesn't have a external power connector. Look at your current GPU and see if there is a connection to it other than to the motherboard and monitor.

It's just connected to the motherboard and monitor, nothing else. I'm starting to worry that my PSU won't be enough for the GTX 1050 though. Some people have mentioned that my 300w PSU is a cheap model. If that's the case, would you recommend a less demanding GPU? I'd rather be safe than sorry.

The 1050 is probably the most power efficient GPU on the market that is actually worth buying. Although the PSU is a cheap model, I think it should suffice. The 750ti was used on many OEM machines and the 1050 uses less than that does. I would get the 1050 and replace the PSU when you can afford to.

Ok, awesome. So now deciding help please, lol.

I was looking at this one if I don't upgrade the PSU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 SC Gaming, 2GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) (02G-P4-6152-KR)

And this one if I do upgrade the PSU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Gaming, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) (04G-P4-6251-KR)

And the PSU I would get if upgrading: Corsair SF Series, SF450, SFX Form Factor, 450 Watt (450W), Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

Would you agree to these choices?

 

[Martell1977]

EVGA has a great reputation for quality and customer service. (Note: they had some trouble with their top end cards lately but immediately addressed the problem). Either of the cards you list will be good.

For the possible PSU, you have a standard mid-tower and don't want a SFX Form Factor. Look for a Seasonci, EVGA (Not B1, G1, or P1 models), or for Corsair the CXM series. THe CX series are low quality, but CXM are much improved models.

Is this one good for me?
EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR

They also have 430W, but the 500W is cheaper.

 

[Martell1977]

What's your budget for a PSU? That is one model i forgot to list, basically all the *1 models from EVGA are lower quality. Is this too much:
SeaSonic S12II 430B 430W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151074&cm_re=seasonic-_-17-151-074-_-Product

I can afford to get that one. I probably won't get a new computer for another year or more. I'm at Newegg.ca and these are the two items I have in my cart ready to buy, lol.

Does it matter if I get the 1050 ti that says SC Gaming?

The EVGA 1050 Ti SC Gaming is a good choice. According to EVGA's website that model does not need a PCIe cable from your power supply. That means the power supply you already have will probably be fine. However, if you buy that SeaSonic 430W PSU you definitely won't have anything to worry about.

"SC Gaming" is just part of the model name, no worries. That, plus what should be a dependable, quality PSU should serve you well and alleviate concerns of losing the card to a low end PSU. There are no guarantees, but the odds are in your favor with the new PSU.

Awesome, thank you! Going to make my purchase now
