This is my current configuration

i3 4130

4gb RAM

ASUS HD 7770 1GB

 

I want to upgrade my gpu and maybe my RAM but i am very tight budget. Its around 200$ ( note: i don't live in US ) and i have couple options:

 

1 Upgrade my RAM to 8GB and pick one of these cards:

-GTX 950

-R9 270x 

-R7 370

 

2 Upgrade to gtx 960 and don't upgrade my ram

 

I am using my pc for gaming. I would like to play Assassins Creed, GTA V, FIFA 16, FARCRY 4, Dota 2, etc. I am gaming on 768p/900p resolution but mostly on 768p.

 

Thanks in advance

Considering you are only playing at 768p, I would go for the r7 370 or 270x and 8gbs or ram. I would reccomend the 270x or maybe even a 280 if you can spend a bit more.

8GB and 950 or if you can 760

You will need those extra gigs of ram for AC and FC 4 and GTA V ,well, all games

Okey so i will go with 8gb of RAM, but what about GPU gtx 950 or r7 370. I don't know which one, only big difference i can see is that 370 is 256-bit. Can someone share some experience ?

Out of all those options, upgrading the RAM to 8GB and getting a GTX 950 is by far the best. You want an Nvidia GPU because AMD DirectX11 overhead is terrible on an i3, but Nvidia GPUs work well with them. And a 950 is very powerful for 768p. Plus 4GB isn't going to get the job done on GTA V or Far Cry 4. You'll see much better system responsiveness on Windows from going up to 8GB also even for little things like web browsing and watching youtube. Upgrading from 4GB to 8GB will make it feel like you have a whole new computer in Windows.

950 over 370 and 270x all the way for the games you're talking about, even discounting the DirectX11 overhead problem AMD has:

i'll say the 950 option with the extra 4 GB of ram. :). overall system experience will be nicer with the extra RAM.
