Hardware question about my build.

[Justinquast]

Which one would be smarter out these two ideas?

Which of these should I do:
1: Drop my hard drive from 1TB to 500GB and get a GTX 960 2GB
Or
2: Keep the 1TB hard drive and get a GTX 760 3GB

Get the 760. There isn't a huge jump in performance between a 760 and a 960. you'll save money and still be able to run plenty of games at high-ultra settings.

Also I think the 760 only comes in 2Gb and 3Gb.

why don't you just post the full build?

A 1tb drive is less than $10 different than a 500gb. Also the GTX 760 3gb, is an OEM only card and slower than a retail 760. The smartest idea is get a 1tb drive and a 960.

GTX 960 is cheaper than 760 right now, as well.

2nd cheapest 960 vs the cheapest 760.
