$200 GPU Suggestions

[Flexology]

I was looking to buy a GPU around 200$ that i wish to replace my R7 250 with. I am a gamer, but limited because of the crappy GPU I have right now. The thing is, the GPU i will buy now, would be used for about 8 months before i purchase a high end one. SO was wondering if i should upgrade my GPU or just live with the R7 250 for the next 8 months? Also it should perform well with my both 1080p screens.

I dont really care about it being an AMD one or Nvidia as long as its the best bang for buck.

My current specs that matter:

AMD FX6300
8GB Ram

R7 250x

GA-78LMT-USB3

Thanks for the suggestion. Is that better than a 960?

Thanks for the suggestion. Is that better than a 960?

Yes, both Specs and real-test

its also dependant on the psu you have 

 

if you have a good quality psu thats atleast 550 watts then get the 380, if its a lower end unit i would get the 960 since it uses alot less power 

[Flexology]

yes.

Thank you

GTX 960 or check EVGA B stock from time to time. They had some 780 Ti a few days ago right around $200 bucks. They go quick but if you can grab one thats one heck of a card for that price point.

380 uses 190W

960 uses 170W

TDP is not power draw

get a new good one. - 500W is enough for any card as long as the PSU is good.
