If I were you, OP, I would upgrade the RAM and SSD first. 1TB 860 Evo SATA SSD is on sales right now. If you must upgrade graphics card on a US$350 budget right now, maybe a GTX1660 Super (~$340)? It has twice of computing power of GTX 1050 Ti, according to UserBenchmark. However, these non-RT-core graphics card are already outdated for most modern games that use ray tracing. If you can wait until 2021, with that money, you can purchase an RTX 3050 Ti ($200?) or RTX 3060 ($300?), which has nearly 5(!) times the computing power of GTX 1050 Ti, according to UserBenchmark.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to help me out if you so wish. I have been wanting to upgrade my Aurora R5, and am wondering how best to go about it. I would like to stay on a somewhat lower budget ($350 Maximum) and just do simple upgrades for the most part. Right now, I am looking to upgrade my GPU and my RAM and potentially add an SSD. If anyone has advice of what is most important to upgrade first, please let me know. Some specs I have available are: Processor: Intel(R) Core i3-6100 [NAME].70 GHz GPU: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 950 Memory: 2x 4GB Memory (2 Slots Available) As it stands, I have been thinking about upgrading my GPU to a GTX 1050-Ti (such as [URL] and installing 2 8GB Memory Cards, along with potentially getting an SSD. If any extra information is needed let me know, and I'll do my best to find it.
