keep your ram, storage, cpu cooler, psu,  and case

GTX 970, don't go Radeon R9 390, since you have a small wattage PSU.

MAYBE Upgrade to i5 4460

Eww, the 960.

Once again, 280X or 285. Although the inclusion of an i3 ain't bad either.

those power hogs would involve getting a better psu. i know the 280x is better but mine drains 350w on its on, so it would have to be a new psu

The 285 is... even better, actually.

I SAID ITS better

but the 285 still drains 200+ watts from the wall when overclocked leaving 250 W for his system. why make the upgrade more expensive by adding a psu?

He's got a half decent PSU. I mean if the 960 is THAT much more better because of that, then sure.

But as far as I can see, the 960's gonna suck ass at DX12.

 

I don't know why but the 960 is one of those GPUs that bother me. Same with the R9 270 and 270X.

one benchmark shows nothing about how dx12 performs. thats like looking at 1 game to compare 2 cards

It can still be a decent indicator as to who's gonna be better, even if it's ONE GAME.

Who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not.
