GTX 960 for next-gen gaming

[SatanLucifer]

HI,iam building a new Budget gaming PC and want to buy a newly released GTX 960 available for around Rs.18000 ($300) .I want to know if this GPU is good enough for gaming for the next 3 years or so on ulta high settings at a resolution of 1366*768.

YES.

Definitely. You could even get away with a cheaper GPU in that resolution like a R9 270 or GTX 660 if you can still find one, but the 960 will be perfect.

The 970 is an overkill for the 1366*768 and i talk through Experience.
960's the best u can get. And on a personal note I would recommend a ASUS strix or the zotac amp!

Overkill can be understood as to use a powerful machine(graphics card in this case) with a machine that wont be able to exploit its full power.
It will be like attaching an old woman with a Bugatti though she will not even go above 30 kph.

The normal zotac edition is the normal gtx 960 and the amp edition is an Oc'ed version which sports a higher clock frequency than the base card.
Also it looks beautiful
