Just get like a gets 970 or r9 390 if your PSU can handle it. If you've got a higher budget GTX 980 or 980ti ect ect. Depends in budget.

Just buy a better GPU instead of a second GTX 960. Sell the old one and use both moneys for a 980 or 390X or something.

^this

 

You don't need an I7 for gaming.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

So.

This is my setup right now:

I5 4690K

ASRock Z97 extreme4

Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Geforce GTX 960

Cooler Master HAF 912

2TB of HDD space.

I was just wondering how I should tackle upgrading this rig in the future.

Should I buy another Gtx 960 and upgrade to an I7?

get a 970

I'm a hardcore Nvidia fanboy :P

And? Your telling me even though the 390 is 5-10% faster at the same price, sometimes cheaper depending on what card you get you want Nvidia just because it's Nvidia?

*you're

And I've just had a better experience with Nvidia, which is why I am slightly prejudiced.

I know I shouldn't be prejudiced because the only AMD experience I've had is an opteron 175 and a radeon R7 265x

nvidia has better driver support and less electricity usage thats why i am going from amd to nvidia

Should I also upgrade my PSU? It's an RM550 though would it be enough also for the future?

Should I also upgrade my case? iI personally really like the one I have now though it's the only one I've ever worked in

you can in the future
