Hi,i am going to upgrade my gpu but i am pretty confused on which one to buy AMD or Nvidia,should i go for the R9 285/380 or should i go for the GTX 960 or maybe something better. I am planing to game and do some editing but mostly games like GTA V,witchers 3..etc,i currently have a 1440X900 monitor but will be upgrading to a 1080 or 1440 soon.And i have corsair VS650 PSU will that be a problem? 

Id say, go with the gtx 960. its runs almost every game on high to ultra with great fps at 1080p and at 1440p it will run almost every game at high with average fps just above 32fps or so. For what you can get them for at the moment which is about $180-$200 its a great card and well worth it. Your power supply is more than enough for any card with a max TDP of 300watts so that would easily cover the 960 and even cards as powerful and power hungry as a r9 290x.

1080p: GTX 960

1440p: GTX 970

 

 

If you go Nvidia, GeForce Experience is quite an experience  ;)
