The only recommendation I can make to someone considering a new low profile build would be to put something together using a Ryzen 2200G or 2400G. That's a console and a whole lot of games. Building a system with an i5, 16GB of RAM, an ITX motherboard (currently only Z370-based, because Intel has yet to release the mainstream chipset) and a low profile 1050ti would be nearly $800.

Prices are so far out of line with where they used to be on the low-end that it just isn't worth it - assuming you could find a low profile 1050ti for $200 (which is $50 more than SRP), you'd still have to pay inflated RAM prices. If you are building a low profile system today, you would be better off spending your money on a Playstation or Xbox and some games. Recommended low profile, single slot card: Nothing is currently available at a reasonable price.Įxpensive interesting option: ASL single slot GeForce GTX 1050ti available here (overseas seller) (thanks to TR forum user pilapila3!)

There aren't any dual slot low profile 1050ti cards in stock at Newegg ATM but the last I saw was a Zotac model selling for $230. Potential option: MSI Radeon RX 560 LP (Newegg link) (currently $165) Recommended low profile card: Nothing is currently available at a reasonable price.
