Will this rig be bottlenecked?

GPU: GeForce GTX1050Ti Expedition
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590
RAM: 8GB.

I probably have to upgrade my RAM, don't I?

I don't think so if you're looking at 1080p gaming. You forgot to mention the titles you want to game on as well as the rest of your system's pecs. Please include them.

There's no CPU bottleneck if that was your concern. Of course, the i5-4590 can use a much faster card for better gaming graphics. The gfx card is the weak link right now.

Your 8GB of system RAM is fine as long as you don't try to do too many other things while gaming.

Alright, here they are. I'd like to play the AAA games and some others.
The power supply is 500W, MSI Z97-G55 SLI ASUS Mobo and a 1TB SATA3 drive, I hope this helps.

Everything is fine, no bottlenecks. May I ask what 500w power supply that is to be sure?

I'm not sure actually. Should I just leave it or should I check and get another power supply? Thank you for your answer.

Well if its a very low quality unit it could potentially cause damage to the rest your components. If you could fine out by perhaps opening the side panel of your case and reading the model name/number, I can let you know if its a safe unit or whether you should replace it with a better one.

We'll need the make and model of the PSU. Just to be sure, are you looking at 1080p gaming? FYI, if you had a non K suffix processor you should've gone with a B85 chipset motherboard. Regardless you're going to be fine.

By titles I was asking what the names of said titles would be.

It's an ATX "Switching" 500b.

Is there a brand name written on it like "EVGA"?

I'm playing Mass Effect: Andromeda at 4k and Ultra settings on a GTX 1080. I have 16GB of ram, and I've hit 60% memory utilization. If you're on a 1050, and the settings aren't maxed out, you should be fine.

Nope, just that. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usedphotosuk/104756951_934.jpg

You need to change that garbage as soon as possible. It will cause permanent damage to your components over time.

This is a low cost good quality power supply that i would recommend you buy.
