Hello, I got an FX8350 on an MSI 990FXA GAMING with 16GB RAM at 1600.
The case is a Corsair Carbide 100R Windowed.

I am about to order a Gigabyte GeForce GTX1050 Ti 4GB Windforce OC.
I just wanna know if it's a good combo with the rest specs and if it will fit my case. My PSU is a CX750. Thanks!

You got lots of space in that case and I just checked you will have more than enough with that GPU.

It's a good combo but an even better one is with a 1060 6GB. You will have a very slight bottleneck in some games but it won't be noticable.

I wanted to go for 1060 but I prefer to save up the money for future projects. Another question, it's for PUBG mostly as I play online and thats why I picked 1050Ti over 1060. So the question, you mentioned bottleneck, would that be for the 1060 or the 1050Ti?

Anyway, thanks for the fast answer!

(And a last thing, whats the process for a GPU change? Uninstall drivers, shut down PC, replace and start up?)
 
The 1060 might get bottlenecked in some games. Not the 1050 Ti.

The correct process is to shut down PC, unplug all power cables, wait 2-3 mins, open case, take the old GPU out, put the new one in, close case, plug all power cables, start the PC, use DDU in safe mode to completely uninstall the previous drivers and then install the new ones.

Be careful of static charge while working inside the case.
