Is this a good pc?

[Litargirio]

ok so i changed it up and I already have storage and memory

 

Still, the 960 is not a good card. Get a 290 instead.

Why a 390, if a 290 performs the same and is cheaper?

[Cory_plays_games]

whats a good nvidia gpu in the $200 plus or minus $50 price range wait no is power color a good brand?

[don_svetlio]

whats a good nvidia gpu in the $200 plus or minus $50 price range 

None

AMD R9 380

Your PC will not be granted magical powers and become a wizard of the FPS just because it says " Nvidia " on its graphics card. Only your wallet will become lighter.

 

You want an AMD Radeon R9 280 or 380. It is the best graphics card in that price range.

[Cory_plays_games]

Ok, SO heres what I have figured out. There is no perfect setup its all about what YOU  want and what YOU are gonna do with it. But thanks all of you I think I will rethink this whole thing and will probably be a crazy mix of all the things that were mentioned. But in all thanks for helping.

[jimakos234]

at 150 usd gtx 950. between 170-220usd  r9 380/280x.

And yes powercolor is a very good brand.

There are raw numbers - a 380 outperforms the 960 by 10-15% on average while being cheaper or the same price. No magic - simple logic.

Shocking, I know.

[Litargirio]

Wrong. There is a perfect setup.

 

The last one you posted with an R9 380* instead is the perfect setup.

 

It's called math.

 

*(and an SSD)

no, it can't. The memory bandwidth is pitiful. The 380 has almost double thus why it can actually use it

The bandwidth is sufficient. I've been playing around with two of them all day, and have owned one since July. I have played games where the game needed 4GB VRAM (GTA V included) and the GTX 960/GTX 960s delivered while providing great performance.

If price is your concern, here's motherboard +CPU + cooler combo for exactly the same price with a CPU that's a million times better.

[Cory_plays_games]

Well I think im done here BYE

[TechZombies]

How does "bad" sound?

390 is a better card than the 970. Especially the Strix - the single worst card type at the moment.

I need an AMD cpu and a nvidia GPU

This is possibly one of the worst threads in a long while. This was a hard read. OP is absolutely being insufferable.
