Please help me check compatibility

Hey guys

I'm looking at getting a new GPU as I'm currently struggling with my GTX 780

I was looking at getting a 1050ti (not impressive I know but I'm on a budget and mostly play strategy games)

I have an i7 - 4770K 3.5
Corsair H8092 liquid cooling
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming mobo
2* 8GB Corsair Vengeance Ram
And a Corsair RM 750W Gold PSU

Will this all be compatible with a 1050ti?

It will be compatible, but your 780 is roughly the same level of performance as a 1050ti. They'll trade wins and losses with the 780 being faster in older games, and the 1050ti being ever so slightly faster in newer titles. Nvidia is supposedly ending official driver updates for the 6/700 series cards in a the next few months, so the 1050ti will start to pull ahead of the 780 in newly released titles, even with that in mind, I wouldn't dream of sidegrading from the 780 to the 1050ti with current prices.

Agreed I wouldnt waste your money on the 1050ti. In most games it will be slower than the 780.

See if you can find a second hand gtx 970/980 or a AMD 290/390/X or fury.
