Good upgrade?

Hi this is my first post. I am a big fan of LTT. I am looking to upgrade my gaming PC.

I would like to know a better GPU replacement from mine. Specs are below:

 

CPU: Intel I7-2600k @ 3.70 Ghz

Cooler: Cooler master hyper evo 212 

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 660ti reference card 

RAM: 16gbs DDR3 corsair vengeance 

Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-z68x-ud3h-b3

Depends on your budget, game settings and FPS you desire. If I was in your position, I'd get a 970 or 390, whichever fits your budget.

Im a college student and like to post gaming videos on my spare time. I really like to play games at high settings mostly new modern games. Fixing budget is around 150-250$

Check out the GTX 960 or R9 380, they fall within your price.

Also you could probably get a used R9 280X or GTX 770, they perform better than an R9 380 and GTX 960 I assume your currency is USD.

280x I love this one, and it can hold a decent oc of 1120/1550/20.

Im not to knowledgeable about overclock's, especially gpu ocs. Im

still learning the ways of the Master race.

I would get the R9 380X with that budget. The R9 390 and GTX 970 are just outside of that, IIRC, and Nvidia doesn't really have anything to compete at the R9 380X price point at the moment.

That probably would be my best best bet huh? i do want to get the best out of my moneys worth.
