A 280 preforms better than a 960 for less.

A 280x is about the same price as a 960, get a 280x

Never get a 4GB 960, it has a small ass memory bus, get the 4GB R9 380.

spends more on motherboard than monitor.... gg.

 

you could spend less on the motherboard and cooler and get a 970/390.

[techguru]

personally I would change the cooler and add a SSD

Why not a locked i5, b81 board and a r9 390? It'll perform much better in games for ~ the same price.

It'll destroy in gaming. The 390 is like 2x faster than the original 960 build.
