I do not want a amd graphics card as nvidia is superior.

The R9 380 destroys the GTX 950, and it beats the GTX 960 by around 10%

 

I'm with @Amazingasian, get the i5-4460 and an R9 380.

 

Not I'm not saying that you have to buy the R9 380.

I was going to comment a useful comment but then I realized op is a fanboy and has closed his mind off thus preventing him from getting the best performance for his dollar.

It´s boring to see how people hate on others just for their opinion... wow all you guys that call him fanboy.... may I ask so what are you? Could it be that the person just shares the mainstream opinion? With his few posts I don´t think he´s die hard into the forum and knowledge in hardware here.

 

@ OP if you need an nVidia card you can have a look into a used GTX960 or GTX970. The GTX950 isn´t really a good choice to buy.

Not sure what you were expecting when OP reply to a good suggestion is this;

 

I do not want a amd graphics card as nvidia is superior.

 

 

 

Personally I don't care about brands and I go where my money brings me, in the end I want the best bang out of my buck, so I don't choose brands first. Good luck OP.
