Is a gtx 980 for 315 dollars worth it?

[Raferi01]

Hi guys, right now there's a store where i live (sweden) selling an asus gtx 980 turbo 4gb for about 315 dollars, is it worth buying that or should i get an rx 480 for about 350 dollars or a 1060 for about 400 dollars, i am on quite a tight budget and i would like to upgrade my psu too...

I have an fx 6300 and a cooler master b500 500watt psu.

Thank you for any answers

GTX 1060 starts from 278 euros in EU

Mindfactory store in Germany

This store sends to all Europe.

GTX 1060 will save you from the need of Power upgrade

What is your power model? and do you Overclock CPU/GPU ?

(Accident "best solution"...) but i have/will probably not overclock anything. So nothing is overclocked. I have the following parts:
Amd fx 6300
8gb ddr3
1 ssd, 1hdd
Asus m5a97r2.0
And a cooler master B500 500 watt psu

Yuor power Supply will work with GTX 980 , but it is a cheap low Quality power supply , I recommend you change it.

Thank you very much for the info! I might upgrade my psu in the near future.

My suggestion would be to upgrade your cpu/mobo first. Get a good i3 with HT or even an i5. The FX6300 might bottleneck your gpu.

By then, the price of the 1060 should settle down and you might actually get one for $250.

I would, but my budget is really tight and i am not in a position to do that right now...
