Keep hold of that cash until you have enough for an entire new system.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

A 960 is a new enough card that it'll hold you over for now. Spend that money on a chipset platform - so motherboard, CPU and RAM. There should be some pretty good deals on skylake combo deals come black friday so grab one of those.
