Is this computer suitable for use with any of these screens?
Hello,
I'm interested in determining whether a computer featuring a GeForce 1050 graphics card and an AMD Fox series processor would be compatible with either of these MSI monitors, and if so, how effectively it would perform. Could you also advise which monitor would be a more suitable choice?

The 1050 will work seamlessly with almost any screen.
However, the FX system is now obsolete—completely out of date.
You could assemble a system costing approximately $600 using current technology and improved speed—provided you’re willing to build it yourself.
Alternatively, a local computer shop could construct one for a nominal charge—which I consider to be the superior approach.
Here’s an example:

Cost breakdown by retailer:
CPU:
AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor
($165.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte - B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
($74.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory:
Patriot - Viper 4 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
($59.99 @ Amazon)
Storage:
Kingston - A400 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
The 1050 will work effectively with virtually any monitor.
However, the FX platform is no longer in production and has been discontinued.
A system costing approximately $600 can be constructed using a contemporary platform and enhanced performance – provided you’re willing to assemble it yourself. Alternatively, a local computer store can readily build one for a small fee, which represents a superior approach in my opinion.
For example:
CPU:
AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor – ($165.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte - B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard – ($74.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory:
Patriot - Viper 4 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory – ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Storage:
Kingston - A400 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive – ($29.99 @ Newegg)
Storage:
Seagate - BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive – ($44.89 @ OutletPC)
Video Card:
PowerColor - Radeon RX 580 8 GB Video Card – ($169.99 @ Newegg)
Case:
Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case – ($39.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply:
Corsair - CX (2017) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply – ($19.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $605.70 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available)
Even a Ryzen 3 model would present a significantly better choice. This could save you roughly $100, which could be used to cover assembly costs if needed.
CPU:
AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor – ($94.89 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard:
Gigabyte - GA-AB350M-DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard – ($64.95 @ Amazon)
