GTX 960 or save $41 more and buy a GTX 970?

285 ro 280x and a cooler?

The 280x is better than the 285. I'd put off getting a cooler and put the money towards getting a ssd first.

I just built a new PC but waited for the 960 to be released.

 

I ordered it today and then my uncle came over asking if he could have my old computer for a NAS, he gave me $50 for it. (NO HDD or RAM FM2 CPU it was bad)

 

Then i relized that i am almost there to a 970. if i canncle my order (amazon still hasnt prosessed it) i can save more and get it! Do i canncel it and save more money? Or use the money to buy a CPU cooler or put to towards an SSD or ram (i have 4.5 GB)? I dont have a job so il have to work hard to get that money, what do i do?

 

tough choice.

 

I think you should buy the gtx970; maybe an r9 290

 

then save up again for:

1. more ram (16gb total)

2. an ssd (128gb for windows)

3. a cpu cooler (4690k at stock clock is not going to bottle neck you and does not need overclocking)

It's such a waste though, you can get a white or black 290 or 290x I'm sure of it.
