Can some one please leave me a link for a 960 4gb for close to 250$? Preferably Gigabyte G1 gaming. Thank I couldn't seem to find one.

960 for $250 is a huge ripoff when this is $240 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003623l

EVGA's SSC ACX model is $239.99 before rebate. http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=EV-960G4SC&c=CJ

 

PNY's reference model is $206.99. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V68LMF2/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

ASUS's R9 290X DCUII is $299.99 before rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121922

 

Sapphire's highly acclaimed R9 290X TriX is $329.99 before rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202145

 

$250 is way too high in terms of a GTX 960, even for a high end model.

because why not?

$240 vs $270 not that much more

Well, that is $239.99 after waiting two months for a rebate versus $269.99 after waiting two months for a rebate.

 

Upfront, you're still shelling out $20/$30 more.

DirectCU II 290/X sucks, which is why it's so cheap. Tri-X is actually a great cooler (personally owned one before), while the Tri-X 290X is $315, $75 more for a factory OC and better chip binning. Even the TurboDuo 290X is already $300.

For what ever card I get I'll have to buy a new power supply too.

Eh, that depends. GTX 960 is a 120W card, so it may be fine on your unit. What is your build, including the PSU?

The Tri-X usually goes on sale for $280. Just ended yesterday :(

Agreed. No one even explained why the 960 might not work, nor did anyone except SLS probe as to OPs other components to figure out if a 960 made more sense (since it has such low power requirements, might make sense in a mini ITX build). Its like people get paid based on how many times they say R9 290. 

 

Shit, do I get money now too?

you need to explain why 960 is a bad decision before you can suggest a different card, Basic manners 101.
