Been meaning to upgrade my GTX 650 Ti 1gb for awhile now as it is starting to be lacking for newer video games that require the 2gb minimum video memory. Hoping to catch some deals over the weekend for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to keep a budget of around 100-150$.

Mainly used in gaming, probably use Battlefield 1 or Dragon Age Inquisition as a testing game. Funny enough the GTX 650 ti runs BF1 on low settings with a few tweaks even though it doesn't meat the minimum.

Current Specs:
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC 1024MB
PSU: XFX ATX 550 Power Supply (P1550SXXB9)
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (6 CPUs), -4.0 GHz
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Mobo: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+

Been looking at the new GTX 1050 here:
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini

My monitor only goes up to 1680x1050 resolution so I won't be doing anything higher for the moment.

Just looking for something cheap and a good upgrade that will last a few years.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You should be good with any of this Rx470(4gb),Gtx1050ti(4gb).Though for longer Driver support i recommend you to go with AMD as AMD drivers ages very well with age

Note:RX470 is a bit powerful than 1050ti and sometimes even matches the gtx1060 performance
