Looking for an upgrade path

[Billybob-2012]

Hello peoples

 

My current PC specs are as follows:

Case: Corsair 100R (non silent)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460

GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 750 Ti

RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3

PSU: Corsair CX430M

Two Seagate HDDs (1TB Boot, 500GB for games and extra storage)

 

I want to upgrade something, but I am not sure what. I want to get one of the following:

A GTX 960

A Core i5-4960k

or a Mushkin Reactor 256GB SSD

 

Which is the best choice?

I would go for the ssd, will make your computer feel a lot faster for the money you're paying

Personally I would go for an SSD in your scenario. A 750 Ti will hold you down for a long while imo

everything you have seems to be ready for even the next year or two of normal desktop games besides the graphics card. Just dump the money that you would have spent on the new i5 and the ssd(which realisticly doesn't improve time by that much), and get like a gtx 970.

He has a 750 Ti. Why would he get a 750?

When did he say 750?

When did he say 750?

 

"everything you have seems to be ready for even the next year or two of normal desktop games besides the graphics card.... get like a gtx 970."

[Billybob-2012]

okay then...

 

Also, what is a good CPU cooler upgrade? It has to be at most 150mm tall due to the case and if it is an AIO, it can have a single or dual 120mm radiator. Or is the Cooler Master Hyper T2 fine?

when did i say 750ti. the 970 has 2x the frame buffer which is going to get really important in the next year or two.

I didn't say that you said 750 Ti. I'm saying he already has a 750 Ti, an SSD would be a better option than going to a 750 imo.

the cooler master gemini r2 is pretty cheap and will fit in almost case.
