1. Make the switch to Skylake (i5 6400, H110/H170/B150 motherboard + DDR4 RAM). Shouldn't cost much more.

2. The GTX 960 is not a good buy. Get the RX 470 instead.

3. The power supply is terrible. Get a grey Corsair CX or a Seasonic unit instead.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

@HKZeroFive probably, but the RX 480 is 50 euro's more expensive than the 960 and the 960 is still a solid performer. @Ellen_orangecloud oh wow, tnx for the PSU tip. and B85 mobo's are 20 euro's more expensive, im on a really tight budget hahaha

The GTX 960 was never a good performer for its price when the cheaper R9 380 outclassed it.

 

And the GPU I'm suggesting is the RX 470, not the RX 480.
