New GPU or Monitor?

O_Bedstew

So, christmas just passed and i now have cash.

I'm wondering if i should get a new display either Asus MX239H or Samsung C24F390FHU or a new GPU either ASUS GTX 1050TI (although it wont be a lot better than my current 960) or a 1060 6GB no more than 180 USD (2000 DKK).

 

I only have 2000 DKK (180 USD) and i'm V-Synced to 63 FPS in GTA-V (although i can go to about 80 FPS). This is why i thought of buying a 75MHz display.

Site you can use to find danish prices: http://pricerunner.dk

Current Rig: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LqBDnn

What would you guys do?

Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK - CPU: Intel i5-3570k - GPU: EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB - RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3-1600 8GB - PSU: CMRS750ACAA-E3 - Storage: 2TB Seagate Barracude HDD - Case: CM 690 II - OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

Don't think you need a new gpu right now if you aren't playing insanely graphically demanding stuff or rendering, so maybe saving it until you can get a 480 or a 1070 would be smart.

Try using the PSU Tier List!

so you're saying a 780 is better than my 960 2gb? Well what a waste of money
