I'd get a new PSU first. And probably a small one, but nothing too horrible. With the 480 and 1060 out though, I'd just wait to get one of those.

Or heck, even the 470. Crushes the 960.

if you can, get the rx 470 or the rx 480/gtx 1060. the gtx 960 isnt a very good performer. if you can't afford either of them, then get an r9 280/380/380x instead.

Ah, i see, your buying used. A 7950/280 would be a better one, but that's about what I'd say an avg. deal.

how can we even talk fps when you dont mention what games, what settings you aim at, and what resolution monitor?

Your CPU will not handle gtx 1060 or Rx 480/470 properly. Get gtx 960 for $120 if you are getting it on a deal with a 450 watts psu from Corsair(Except CX), evga or cooler master. 

[david cassar]

A gtx 960 at 120$ isn't a bad deal. Your cpu would bottleneck anything more than a 960 or r9 380. Personally I would try and find an hd 7950/r9 280 for about 100$. If you can't however a 960 wouldnt be that bad.

[don_svetlio]

I wouldn't buy the 960. It's crappy value considering it has no hardware support for DX12/Vulkan. Get a 380 since that's 15-30% faster (depending on the API) for similar money.

Man, I've been reading your posts for some time and you get triggered when you read "bottleneck", "gtx 960" and "I5's do not bottleneck the gtx 1080".

960 is shit. It's not worth the money and you are better off saving up or buying a 380 4G

it does support it, but it barely enhances performance.
