graphics card upgrade path

[S.S.Dragon]

so this is my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DBfBsY i havnt bought the graphics card yet (ive already bought everything else). im just wondering what would the the next logical card to upgrade. (that isnt too expensive) cause i might go ahead and jump to that next card when i next get paid. if i had to guess i would say EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB Superclocked which is just at $200 while the one i would be getting is ~$115

 

im guessing that card cause more memory, higher clock speed, is compatible with the rest of my items and would fit into the case

You don't need the thermal paste, and yes, I would wait to get paid for get an r9 380 instead of gtx 960. They cost the same and the 380 performs better. Use the iGPU (the onboard graphics card on the CPU) until you can afford the 380.

I would also also replace the power supply with this one

It costs a little bit more, but is much better quality and will prevent you from needing to buy a new power supply in the future whenever you decide to upgrade your graphics card.
