Tower to play for 600€
-
Hello everyone!
You see, I have a friend who is going to change his entire tower and he asked for advice.
He mainly uses the computer to play CSGO, LOL and maybe some of the latest generation like Battlefield, but the main ones are LOL and CSGO.
I gave him a configuration with what I would choose, and a friend of his gave another configuration and what I would like is for you to help him decide between the two.
The main difference is that in mine I put a 1050ti in favor of getting the rest of the material of higher quality, and in the other one a 1060 is put sacrificing the quality of components.
I have tried to convince him that it is better to put all the components of a certain quality than to get a better graphics card sacrificing the rest of the components, at least in my opinion.
It is also true that I have opted to put only one SSD and not to put a cooler because putting a better cooler and a second HD is always in time.
Well, which one would you choose or what changes would you make?Rul3s configuration: https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/50117cE62

I take into account the following points:
- Currently he is using a 1080p 60hz monitor that he does not plan to change, so the 1050ti I think is more than fine for him
- Putting an i5 is 50€ more
- I consider that my configuration is more "upgradable" as it has better base components, you can put a cooler, a secondary HD (or take advantage of the one he has now) and later, in 3-4 years, change the graphics card and keep going for another 3-4 years more.
How do you see it, what do you think?

@rul3s A few days ago, there were some Medion with GTX1060 on Amazon at very good prices, and in these cases of more for less I think they are a good option, because they come with everything you need (even S.O.) and you can expand it or even put it in another box, changing the card, etc... in the future.
Salu2!
PD: This one is now up to 750€ but it's an example, the thing is to be aware

@rul3s Here I leave you several options.
G4560 + 1050Ti
i3-7100 + 1050Ti
In any case, even with an i5 you can save the cooler and leave the one that comes with it... if it makes sense to buy an i5 now.
With that budget, better forget about a 1060 with 6 GB... and better not even look at the ones with 3 GB; in any case (and although I doubt that the 1050Ti can move 4 GB of VRAM decently) you are going to have a very weak computer that will serve for what you want. -
Finally, after reading reviews and such, I decided on a Ryzen 3 1200, leaving the configuration as follows: https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/635e52358- Ryzen 3 1200
