Back in my younger days i was big into gaming but having since settled down and had kids i just don't have the money or time anymore.
On a whim i treat myself to a MSI Codex pre-built PC (specs in my sig) to do a little bit of gaming again, I've replaced the RAM and added a NVMe SSD as cheap upgrades to try and get a little bit more out of the machine and also managed a pretty respectable overclock on the 1050Ti considering its the small form factor one without the 6 pin but it still struggles to get past medium on most modern AAA tiles (Control, Detroit Become Human), I game in 1080p (24") as just don't have the spare money or space for a display that supports anything else as i have to use a dual monitor setup while working from home, i am after upgrading the graphics card to something with a little more power than the 1050Ti but i am limited by the 450w (edit: 350w?) PSU, any advice would be great. the cheaper the better lol.
TLDR: I think i need a better graphics card, help. cheap, cheerful and low power for 1080p gaming.
