GPU Upgrade

I want a GTX 1050 TI but there are so many variants which would be best for me?

My motherboards socket is fm2+ so the best I could do is an Athlon x4 880k. Which card would go best with my CPU?

This is UK model but you can get very similar one for US.
Tbh though save up your pennies for the 1060 3gb. It is drastically better than the 1050ti. I have a similar cpu to you and i get 60fps on high settings on MOST AAA titles such as PUBG or battlefield 1.

Won't the 1060 bottleneck the 880k a lot ? I was hoping for the 1050ti because it barely bottlenecks

If you have a 880k why you not getting a high tier gpu

I suppose you're right. Ill go ahead and get the 1060 3gb when its atleast 300 lol

not sure whether it's worth considering the mining situation has caused high GPU prices

i wouldn't pair an 880k with a 1060
880k is weak
ryzen 3 1200 or a 5 1400 would be best with a 1060

I know you would have to change motherboard I thought I wouldn't have to point that out...

1050TI with i7 7700 is one of the best combinations

I would say something more powerful for an i7 7700k
a 1070 or at least a 1060

I currently use a i7 6700k with a 980ti.

I'd stick with either a 1060 or a 1050ti because you don't want to bottleneck your CPU.

That was exactly the one I was gonna get actually! I'm glad somebody else recommended the same thing. Once this bitcoin mining craze goes down in acouple weeks I will be getting that one exactly
