Don't pay more than $100 usd for a 960 4gb

Fanboys are the worst thing to happen to the tech community World. Chief among them are Apple fanboys.

Dont. You can get an R9 290x for about the same money. Its a better GPU and a better buy

i found a new guy selling his 2nd hand gigabyte gtx 970 for 150$/₱8,000 (in my country which is PH) do you think i should take it? plus additional sapphire r7 260x 2gb

That's pushing the limit a bit, but a much better deal than the 960. 

 

Not an outstanding deal, but a fair one. If you can't find any better that's not bad at all

If you can find a 290x for less or the same it would be a better buy than the 970 due to the 970 practically only has 3.5GB of Vram, meanwhile the 290x has 4GB.

If you cant find it. Look for the 390x. If you cant find that, then the 970 should be fine.

Yeah that won't be an issue. That's a solid psu and you'll have plenty of overhead still

You shouldn't of asked to trade cards plus that much cash. I would take that deal too cuz he can sell your card too and really get a good deal.
