Hi. I'm building a gaming computer with the following components and I am not sure which graphics card is the best.
My parts -
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VD Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial - 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Power Supply: EVGA - 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
I found a good graphics card that is within my budget but I'm not sure which brand to purchase one from.
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING, 2 GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Single Fan Graphics card.
Or the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2GB GDDR5 128 Bit PCI-E Graphics Card (Boost Clock 1518 MHz)
So which brand should I buy that has better performance, graphics, and is better in general?
Please comment back.
Thanks.
 
Solution
They are both essentially the same in performance, so I'd go with the EVGA simply because I've had good experiences with their products.

Since you are setting up an entry level system(for now), I think that CPU is fine. If I was to go with a Ryzen, it'd be an R5 1400 at least, and that's a substantially higher cost since you'll also want a better videocard to take advantage of it. I'm sure you understand that entry level systems do have their limitations, that's why they cost less.

Yes. I'm planning on upgrading in the future when I'm making more money. Right now I'm not making that much so I'm just building an entry level system until I wanna upgrade. Thanks for the suggestions.
 


In the future maybe but not now since it's above my budget
