Anything you could get for $300 would work fine with that cpu.

gtx 950's are quite cheap at the moment, if you want an alternative to amd (WAIT!!! i don't want to start WW3, i am NOT critiscizing amd cards...) you can get the ftw edition for 180 $ i think.

Any GPU Thats Under 300 Dollars Will Work Great With This GPU, And I Recommend The EVGA Geforce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0 Model Which You Can Buy Here...   http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-3968-KR   Right Now It Costs 259 Dollars And You Should Spend The Spare Money Also To Get 8 Gigs Of Ramattachicon.gifCapture.PNG

This 290 costs less, and is a fucking boss ass bitch when compared to a 960.

And really we all know 4gb is useless on a 960.

CX PSU is garbage.

4gb on a 960 is useless.

That's what everybody suggested me so i also decided to upgrade my ram by 4 gb i.e. total of 8 GB .. so with 8GB  960 is fair enough to keep up .. the only thing that is left with is PSU so if there anything better than CX suggest please .. and for the budget i would say it will be NZ currency but i can get bit over than 300 may 50 or 100 i guess ..

Everything is so expensive in NZ.. what's your budget for a PSU is that part of the 300-400 budget. And what merchants do you guys use?
