Need help upgrading PC

[Mycola]

Hello, i was wondering if you guys may help me improve my gaming experience. And point me in the right direction, to upgrade my existing desktop. My budget is around 200 USD (and it's ok if I will go a little over it), I use this computer to play games(mostly Over watch and Fallout 4 recently). This is the desktop I am currently using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4P03F95864&cm_re=AMD_Radeon_R9_260_2_GB-_-83-266-896-_-Product

Lastly, I am not the most tech savvy person but i do understand a decent amount of information about computers thanks to you tube.

I might get a new cpu, but the 480 gpu is 230 ish and it would help gaming a good bit.

470/80/380/960/970, etc. you'll be cpu bound now, especially in more cpu intensive games.

[Mycola]

All the models you listed will fit right (just making sure cause i have no idea).

[LabRat]

they will fit the board and they will fit the case. the 450watt ps might be a problem. looks enough to power what you have but have reservations on the cards I listed.

[Mycola]

What do you mean by reservations?

providing enough clean power to run the system efficiently.

[Mycola]

ah well thanks for all the help!

 

[Mycola]

Oh also, personally which card would you get?

[LabRat]

I liked my 380 a lot. it's a hot card though. the 970 has a few issues once in a while with stutter. for me that could be lack of enough vram or perhaps the software trying to connect to the net. doesn't happen with internet unplugged. the 470/80/960 all use less power and should run cooler. buy something with decent cooling on it,. in theory ( reality ) all the cards listed will be "too" big for your cpu but that's okay./

check guru3d for graphics card reviews. when you select a card, use the drop down box to find the different games tested. your cpu won't come close to their set up but it'll give an indication of varying performances of the cards.

[Mycola]

Probably gonna go for the 960 then with 2gb, should be fine right (just double checking)?

[LabRat]

Personally I don't buy cards with 2gigs of ram on them anymore.

Gonna go for this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137024&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Video+Cards+-+AMD%2FATI-_-N82E16814137024&gclid=Cj0KEQjw_qW9BRCcv-Xc5Jn-26gBEiQAM-iJhbJ_VRNwtCw1a2Pr4zFIA9GVG4PpZTdrZ9MTPgW5jncaAljB8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds
