Graphic card suggestion

[Jander76]

so I was given this build as an upgrade and got a deal on the processor so can increase my video card up, here is the build

I was recommended the GTX and had two questions, is the GTX compatible since it is DDR5? and which of the following two is best?

GTX

I would go with the R9 380 in this case, because one, it's newer. Second, it's faster on most games by about 5-10fps depending what resolution you're playing at, and settings.. And it's cheaper by $15.

I didn't see that, what would be the big advantage of that one over the 380? and the same price... lol

179.99 is less than 199.99 and no rebate hassles
still 10 bucks less after the rebate

Your build link does not work for me.
The key to how good a graphics card you can use is the psu.
Here is a chart to help:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm
The R9-380 will want a 550w psu.
The GTX960 will need 430w.

A synthetic benchmark will show the R9-380 as a bit stronger, but in actual gameplay, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference from a GTX960.
And, the results could be reversed based on a particular game.
