960 or 1060 with AMD A8 6600k

[1Tacts1]

I bought a prebuilt pc two or three years ago, just last year i bought a low end video card, msi gtx 770, but now i want to upgrade. I'm gonna purchase a new video card on monday and i need to know what will bottleneck the least, the EVGA 1060 6gb or EVGA GeForce GTX 960, also my cpu is overclocked to 4.2ghz.

- Thanks in advanced, Tacts

1050 ti would be what I would pick for that system. 1060 6gb would be overkill, you wouldnt get good value for money because the apu would hold back performance.

Would that be a good upgrade from the 770?

no



you are at a point where adding more gpu power is nearly pointless because your setup is too weak



you want more gpu power and be able to use it, you need to rebuild

Another quick question, if i do get the 1050 ti, if i wanted dual display would i have to plugin one hdmi into the card and one into my motherboard?

Sorry, didnt see that you had a GTX 770 already. No point upgrading your video card to be honest. You need a better CPU first to get a good benfit.

Go for a 1060 6gb and a i5 6500, H170 motherboard, 8 or 16 gb of DDR4 RAM.
