Upgrading GPU $260

[Terminator_]

Hi

I could really use some help on deciding on what to upgrade my GPU to, currently have a ASUS GTX 750ti, but I now have $260/£200 to spend on upgrading, and I already upgraded my CPU to a i5-6500
I'm not a huge "gamer", and I don't play a lot of Fps heavy titles, most consuming I'd play are Rust and GTAV at 1080p
I went through some sites, looking around for brand new ones, and I've been looking these cards :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00SKWIISQ/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B012G7VCGU/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00UHHXXH8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE#nav-search-keywords
And
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01KHWOB78/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
But I just can't decide if I want 2,3 or 4 GBs, if I want a 1060 or 960, or if I should even go this high
I also have a 600W PSU, so I'm not to worried about usage, and I also won't be likely to overclocking it
Thanks

I don't know exactly the performance difference between a 3G and a 4G 1060 vs 960 but
The 1060 is of a newer generation and I would expect it to be a better performer overall. Check some online benchmarks to see if you need the extra Vram or not.

This EVGA SC Gaming will give you great factory overclocks and gaming performance.

There isn't even a question here. Get a 1060.

Issue is that the GTX 1060 3GB I could find doesn't have much information, and I am also limited to 240mm in space in my case

These cards will fit your case with room to spare:

Get the one you can afford.

The 3gb version not only has less ram, but is also crippled, yet still outclasses an RX 470.
SO it's like this: 1080 6gb > RX 480 > 1060 3gb > RX 470

@ryguybuddy
Since I'm not in the USA it's + £50 for packaging

Oh...then a RX 480 4GB will be good.

What about this card, would it work with my MSI H110M Pro VD MB, Core and 600W PSU?

Yes, and it's a good choice. Only make sure that teh case actually fits 240mm, because that's exactly what that card is in length. Also, it has teh power connector on the side, so that shouldn't be obstructed by the case:

It's says on the amazon page that it's 21cm, nearly as big as the 750 ti I have atm, so it should fit no bother

 

[madmatt30]

The nitro is a shade over 23cm mate, that Amazon spec is wrong.

Never rely on shops for these things. Always check teh manufacturer's website: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=A471FEC5-AAA9-482B-81C3-4A7E059A3574&lang=eng

240mm...

240mm...

tis true - the cards is just over 230mm,the pci express connector sticks out 5-6mm & youll then need room for the cable too.

exactly 240mm spare will be cutting it real fine !

What your actual case model???

 

[Terminator_]

I checked my case again and I have exactly 26.4-26.8cm, so it might be a tight squeeze.
Also how will I power this if I PSU only have a 6 pin power connector

 

[madmatt30]

If you have 26cm it'll fit.
The PSU though is another issue mate .
You'd best let us know what model PSU it is
A decent 600w PSU should have 2x 6+2 pins really or at least a 6 & a 6+2.

Here's my case:

And my PSU:

[Hlsgsz]

The card will fit in teh case and your PSU has two 6+2 pin PCIE connectors, so no problem there.

 

[madmatt30]

^ true - that PSU link didn't work before - the 600w definitely has 2 x6+2 pins as you say.

Not sure why you're thinking you only have a 6 pin ??

Going to order a RX 480 next week
