A really dumb question...

[wolfram42]

Im looking at buying a pc (Gonna work in NZD here) and im looking at pc force for building. They have the option to create a build with an intel I5-6500 and I'm wondering if I should go with the GTX 950 or the GTX 1060 (There's no GTX 900 series option.) The 1060 is 3gb and $130 more and the 950 is 2gb. Feedback is appreciated.

1060 >>>>>>>>>>>>>950

the 950 is a great entry level card


the 1060 is a robust mid/high tier offering



do you have the option for an rx 480? and how does it compare price wise to the 3gb 1060?



1060 6gb > rx 480 > 1060 3gb

1060 6gb > rx 480 > 1060 3gb

The 480 8gb would be +$230 and a 6gb 1060 would be +$185.

wow, then the 3gb 1060 is very well priced

the 950 will start to lose its umph within a few years due to games getting better graphics. where as the 1060 will last you at least 6 years or more.
