So i am lil bit confused.In my area , The prices of gpu are higher than usual.And there are also not much variety.

I have three options: (Every GPU is used)

1) RX560 4gb Sapphire pulse(1024 S.U) for (130$)

2)GTX960 2gb Zotac (120$)

3)MSI twin frozer GTX660(For 90$)

 

Also Please consider my specs:

Of those the GTX 960 is the best performer, it also so happens it's about the hard limit that CPU can handle before there's no performance increase

 

What's your current GPU?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Then the 660 probably wouldn't be worth considering, small jump in performance.

 

Also, you can hopefully sell that GPU for a good price and start saving for a new CPU

actually included the price.

So you mean i should go for a GTX960?

But will its 2gb vram limit performance?

2GB is pretty fine for what the 960 was made for, 1080p medium details

Just asking

Will a RX560 4gb be bottlenecked by a Q9650?

The 560 and the 960 are both pretty bottlenecked, but the 960 is very comparable to the 560 (if not better performance) and cheaper so go with that.

I'm using a GTX 960 (2GB) right now and most games run fine using medium to high settings. It has trouble running Doom (2016) but games such as Overwatch, Borderlands 2, Rocket League, Tomb Raider and the like run fine for me. Check this video out.
