i5 7400 and 1050ti , how to move forward ?
which will be better to upgrade ? i like to play single player games like the witcher 3 , Doom , ac odyssey , kingdom come deliverance , Control , Greedfall . i usually play on lowest settings to get to stable 60 fps as much as possible. would like to prepare for cyberpunk. i also use adobe premiere alittle bit . i own 1080p 60hz monitor .
read some posts and apparently i should upgrade to 1660ti or 2060 super but other posts dont really mention cpu so im afraid my cpu will be a huge bottleneck .
any help is appreciated . Thanks.

I'd upgrade your GPU first, it's a lower tier part than your CPU, can be used now & is easily transferred to a newer build. A new CPU / mobo should be next on your agenda though.
There's the AMD 5700 in that tier too, it's also a viable option.
Thanks for reply.
so you dont think cpu will be an issue ? it likes to stay fairly high in odyssey and kingdome come , 60% to 100% even
I wouldn't say it won't be an issue. There are games that are starting to utilise ≥4 threads which will push your CPU to the max. At the moment though I do think it's still the better part than the 1050ti.
I'd be very tempted to snag a Ryzen 2600/B450 mobo combo whilst they're really cheap, or otherwise wait for the Ryzen B550 chipset to come out and look into a Ryzen 3600/B550 mobo early next year.
What ever you buy now though, the other part is certainly going to become the bottleneck afterwards, so imo it's a case of buying the better upgrade now (which I think is the GPU), and then saving for the next one.
Thanks for reply . will 500 psu be sufficient to run any of the 3 cards ?
Yep, it's just large enough that you don't need to worry about your GPU choice.
