      There are a lot of fake cards out there atm, do you have a link to the card that you are considering so we can check it out for you.

      Two things that I noticed in Speccy, your RAM is only running at 1333MHz when it should be running at 1600MHz and one of your hard drives is flagged up as having issues.

          GPU prices are on the high side atm but Newegg and Outlet PC have the GTX 1050 in stock, purchase direct from them if you can and expect to pay $150+.

          Not sure why your RAM is running at 1333MHz, check your MB manual as you may need to use the MSI OC genie to get the RAM to run at 1600MHz. you should be more concerned about losing the data on the hard drive that is shown to have issues.

                    I thought you narrowed it down to the GTX1050. :unsure:

                      Thread marked as pending to avoid us repetitively asking for updates, if we don`t hear back from you after a couple of weeks to keep the forum tidy we will close the thread, you will still be able to reply but will need to ask for a member of staff to re open the thread.
