Should I save up for a 960 or just get a 750 ti

[techarmyhd]

I just built my pc 4 days ago and need to buy a graphics card. I was thinking about getting the 750 ti but then saw that the 960 was $199.99 on amazon.

Should i spend the extra money or put the rest into buying something else for my pc?

could i recommend looking at a 7970 / GTX 680/770 on eBay if you don't mind going used.

The 960 is a much better buy. The GPU is the most important part of a gaming build and you usually shouldn't skimp on it to spend money elsewhere in your system. The 960 is a quality 1080p GPU, the 750 Ti is designed more for light gaming in systems that need to be low power. To give you an idea of the difference in power, the 960 and 770 usually bench pretty closely in games now, and here is the enormous difference between the 750 Ti and 770:

Anandtech sadly doesn't have 960 benchmarks to directly compare against though.

What kind of PC do you have?  Is it a prebuilt?  nVidia 900-series GPUs are really power efficient, but some cheap 300W power supply might not like the 960, or the 750ti actually.
