960 is not future proof. I really recommend R9 380 Nitro.

212 EVO would handle 4GHz with ease, it's absolutely ok.

Hello im from Poland and i need help with chosing parts to my PC. But first i want to introduce my current PC.

CPU - Phenom 2 X4 965 3,4 (Stock cooler) 

Motherboard - Asus M5A97 

Ram - GoodRam (Polish brand nevermind :P) 8GB 1600 (current 1333 couse cpu :()

GPU - Radeon Asus 6870 1GB

PSU - 620W somekind of noname from brand Logic or something like that (only one 6pin port!>:()

Case - Logic as well

Disc - 500GB WD Caviar Green
I Was able to play on this in GTA V on low, Far Cry 4 on low, BF4 on Medium.

I have around 470 US Dollars to spend. But you have to consider that i live in Poland so here is more expensive than in USA.

You can use some German website like:
www.mindfactory.de

www.caseking.de/en

But you have to add 20 Euro for Shipping to Poland.
Or some Polish website like: (here shipping is free or like 3$ so skip that) 
www.morele.net (Probably the best one)
www.x-kom.pl 
But they are in polish lenguage. :P
Also 1 US Dollar is 3,81 polish zł.


Thanks everybody for help and have a nice day! :)

Go for a PSU such as the SeaSonic S12II 520W or Antec HCG 520M or XFX TS 550W and a GPU such as the R9 380. The Phenom you have isn't top of the line but will work for now. Maybe look into a 212 EVO for OCing

Trust me - V300 are terrible - falsely advertised speeds and much lower reliability. Not saying buy an 850 EVO, just go for a better one such as Sandisk' budget SSDs or OCZ and Crucial

What about GTX 960 instead of R9 380? MSI GTX 960 4GB is right now on sale for 860zl and Gigabyte R9 380 4Gb is like 950zł. With is like 23$ more than GTX. And also how about CPU coolers compare? 212 Evo would be enough for 4GHz? (Only rising multiplayer on cpu to x19)

960 is quite a bit weaker.
