Graphics card upgrade

[Grgsrf]

I ihave an XPS 8300 and im looking to upgrade my graphics card to a gtx950 or 960 or something around there. I play lots of games such as Arma 3 and CSGO id like to know any of those two graphics cards would be a good upgrade or if theres a different card in the same price range of the gtx (150$-200$) that would benefit me more

Are you sure you can't get something around the 970?

No, I sadly can't afford it.

GTX 960 would work on your existing power supply. When choosing card stay with EVGA, MSI and ASUS, so far those are mostly compatible (in that order), I seen issues Gigabyte.

GTX 960 should be sufficient for ArmA 3 and CS:GO. However, you won't be able to play many of the newer releases with max settings. I would say that the 960 is mediocre.
If you can afford it, you should go with the 970 instead.
I would suggest going with ASUS or EVGA when choosing a manufacturer.

Go with the 960 and sell the free games which is included recently I saw some new 960s 2gb sell for 160 and if you sell the game for 40 euros BAM! ONLY 120 DOLLARS !!!!
