EVGA 960 or Peripherals

[TheAskingParrot]

I have a budget of $230 and I am in need of either a 960 graphics card or Keyboard and Headset. My current Graphics card is a PNY Geforce GT 730 and it has been good to me, I can play most of the games I own with an average of 40fps. I use custom launch options for my games so for example when I play my main game (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) I get around an Average of 130fps on High settings with no vsync. But on other games I get an average of 40-60fps which isn't that bad, But I could use an upgrade in the near future. I also need a new keyboard and headset. I currently have a Logitech G105 keyboard and a Logitech G230 headset. On the keyboard I have a broken S key which is kind of necessary for PC gaming and on my headset I have a crack above the ear piece http://imgur.com/StCnpqH And I want to get Astro A40's for Headsets and Razer deathstalker expert keyboard. Any advice for what I should get either the card or the Peripherals and if there are any better options which one would be better.

You don't need a better GPU for CSGO. For any other modern games, I would definitely recommend at least a GTX 750. The 960 is a good card. Only you know how annoying/unusable your peripherals are so it's difficult to say which you will appreciate more.

agreed, you would benefit from any of the above and depending on your preferences could go either route.

if you found a used gtx960 and bought lower end peripherals than you were planning you could get everything on budget or a bit over. theres a gtx960 in classifieds for $150, you might be able to score one a bit cheaper if you looked around a bit locally.this would net you $80-110ish for a keyboard and headset. if you go with a cheaper keyboard for right now you could even get a half decent headset like the hyperxcloud.

Thanks guys, I'm going to go with the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW edition and HyperX Cloud headset.

Probably too late but you might want to hold on for a few weeks on the GPU, at least to see what the 950 offers over the 750.
