Why don't you wait for the GTX 1070?

 

[Abxolute]

too long perhaps,i've been using lga775 and this amd hd4600 for so long that i barely can watch 720p

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Getting a new PC?

 

[Abxolute]

yes

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Any build you're thinking of? BTW, wait for the GTX 1070.

thinking of this one, i5 6500 processor with b150a gaming pro motherboard(kind of not sure with motherboard)corsair vengeance lpx 16gb ram,fsp hydro G750WATT power supply.if gtx 1070 is the same price as gtx 970 ill probably waiting.playing games with intel hd 530

GTX1070 is $379 MSRP (so typical after-market will be $400 to $450)

It should be slightly faster than a GTX980Ti, so here's a 980Ti benchmark average:

It also has 8GB VRAM, VR optimizations (up to 60% faster in VR), DX12 optimizations etc.

What is your budget for the PC? Will give you a build.

 

[Abxolute]

it's hard to tell really,because for examples:graphic card right there worth 400 dollar in america but 500 dollar here

 

[Abxolute]

would say roughly 900 dollar

 

[Alan Caldwell]

Where are you from?

 

[Abxolute]

indonesia

also worth noting that zotac gtx 970 is only 350 dollar in my country and sapphire r9 390 is 370 dollar

Update:
We have some more details on the Polaris GPU's.

The R9-480 is looking like a pretty great card. It MAY be up to 20% faster than an R9-390 and cost as little as $200MSRP. That seems a little too good to be true, but that's the info we have as of yesterday.

Still, it's looking like AMD will have a great value lineup in the $150USD to $300USD price range.

Once the 480 is released as long as AMD keep to that promised price it should really shake things up in the GPU market as I'm sure Nvidia will have to respond. Looks like a promising time for us gamers
