New gpu

Go to solution Solved by mata-pombos,

meta pombos, thanks for the reply btw, so i see that the r9 290 is not far from my budget, and i might be able to juice the wallet a bit.

 

Are you talking about this card ?

yes thats one of the best aftermarket r9 290, i would seriously save up for that, since the 960 has abou 75% performance of an r9 290. If power consumption isnt a big deal for you (wich it shouldn´t) get that card

Hi everyone.

I am upgrading my pc bit by bit, and i have reached the time for upgrading my gpu, and i found the msi gtx 960 gaming 4gb

my specs are;

I5 3,5gz quad core

Evga gtx 750 1gb

Gigabyte gaming 7 mobo

250gb kingston v3 ssd

500gb western digital

cooler master v series 750 watt psu

12gb of crucial ddr3 ram

 

Will the 960 be a good replacement for the 750?

R9 380 would be a bit better

would love the 390, but it's about 150 above my budget

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp43975kr What about this? $306 with the mail in rebate. Plus 390s aren't $450 that's more like a 390x, 390s are around $330

The MSI 390 on NewEgg is 30 bucks above your budget...if you could fork that out I'd definitely go for it.

Darkblade, this is the card i am thinking of buying

http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/1140526/msi-gtx-960-gaming-4g-grafikkort-gf-

at 2033dkk

and this is the one you suggested

http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/1128872/msi-r9-390-gaming-8g-

at 2897dkk

Unfortunatly if i wanted that card, i'd have to wait another month. And i know. another month for a better card is not that bad, but since i am not able to put as much money aside as i'd like, it's a bit steep

@HbuskM alright when you said 150 above your budget I assumed you were from the U.S. or something, gotta specify currencies :) Yeah a GTX 960 will be fine then.

Yeap, dont buy the GTX 960, get R9 380 or R9 290.
