[QUOTE="Cleo, post: 959209, member: 87751"] The gtx 1050 ti should work in the system, however, unless you already own that motherboard then it looks like a bad match for your needs. It will tie you to Coffee Lake chips and its designed for high end gaming. Its big feature is that it has 3x16PCIe slots with sli/crossfire in mind. Nobody does sli/crossfire anymore so its a waste of money. Go with the STRIX that you have mentioned (iirc ASUS ROG STRIX B560-E GAMING WIFI). The STRIX will take the newer (better) CPU's and has WIFI6 and a 2.5Gbps ethernet port but most importantly it officially supports faster memory which is where you will get your best graphics improvements if you use the integrated graphics of the 11900K.
