Hi there! I'm new to PC building and am in the process of putting together a budget-friendly setup. Here's what I'm working with: an AMD A10-9700 processor, a GIGABYTE GA-A320-S2H motherboard, 12GB of RGB DELTA TEAMGROUP DDR4 RAM, a 240GB KINGSPEC SSD, a 700W ELECTRON power supply, and a white RGB case. I'm looking for an affordable GPU that can help me achieve 60fps in games, and I'm considering the GTX 1050Ti. Is it worth buying in 2025?

Honestly, I wouldn't buy the AMD A10 for a budget build. Is that really the best CPU you can get for your money? You might find something better for a similar price.
Is that 12GB of RAM split into 8GB and 4GB sticks? If it's a mix, you might want to look into getting a matched pair for better performance.
It really depends on how much you're paying for it. If you can snag one for under $60, then it might be worth considering. Anything more than that, it's probably not a great investment, especially given how old it is.
Just a side note, why did you choose a 700W power supply? That's quite a lot for such a budget build. What are you planning to power with that extra capacity?
The GTX 1050Ti wasn't great when it was released, but if you can get it for just $21, that's not a bad deal for a budget rig. Just keep in mind that it won't handle newer games very well.
