The GTX 1050 may be a slightly better buy than the RX 460:

While the RX 460 has more "GB" that's not what influences gaming performance most strongly. Also for the kind of fairly entry-level gaming you'd expect off either card, 2gb is fine.

And the GT1 might be a better bet for the additional fans and upgrade options it offers.

If you're happy stretching a few quid more there ofc.
