Which one should I get? GTX 960 or ?

[Aaron Hossain]

Hi guys so I'm planning on building a gaming pc with the i5 6600K I don't have the budget to buy something like 980Ti but I can afford something like the GTX 960 4GB so should I buy this card or what are options do I have ? 

 

As your guys asked here's my build on pc part picker. Specs

[Oshino Shinobu]

R9 380 or R9 390 if your budget can stretch. 

[Aytex]

Whats your budget for a build? maybe i can switch some parts out for cheaper ones to get you more preformance

I may be able to fit a 390 depending on your budget

The R9 380 4GB is better in that price range, but if you post your entire build, we may be able to do some magic and fit something better in.

My budget is 1100$my custom build on Pc part picker Specs

 

Actually for the parts its about 1000$ but I have keyboards etc which I will spend my 100$ on.

R9 380 is 15% faster than a 960
R9 380X is 25% faster than a 960
R9 390 is 5% faster than a 970

Hit me up if you need benches

Lose the K CPU with that motherboard, and if you need to sacrifice a RAM stick. Better to have 8 GB of RAM and a better GPU than 16.

Do you plan on overclocking?

But I want the Skylake processor for futureproofing I will get the new GPU after 2years.

Honestly if you could spare the extra 100$ I would go for the r9 390. I have the powercolor r9 390 and I absolutely love it, I max out every game I play.

No I don't but maybe in the future that's the reason I chose the 6600K

[Moonzy]

i would drop the overclocking i5 to a locked one and grab a 390

much better performance in games `-`

That xeon is the same as the I7 4770 with no integrated GPU, which is perfect for this.

Can you give me rough pricing for certain items so i can compare?

 

How much is a R9 390?

How much is a 250GB Samsung 850 EVO?

How much is an i5 4460?
