Hey guys

Power Supply: Antec 500W 80+ High Performance Power Supply
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690 (3.9GHz, 6M Cache, 4x Cores) CPU
Motherboard: MSI H81 Chipset SATA3 6.0Gb/s USB 3.0 MB
Memory: Crucial Balistix 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz High Performance Gaming RAM
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 750 1Gb SC Editon
Sound Card: Integrated 7.1 Channel HD Audio - Included
Primary Hard Drive: 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM SATA3 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD

And i would like to upgrade the GPU.

What do you guys suggest?

Will it make a huge difference?

Will my PSU Handle it?

Budget: 250$

Thanks!

The GTX 960 would be a huge leap up, it slightly outperforms the 770 http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/nvidia-geforce-gtx-960,review-33113-4.html and the 770 is much stronger than your 750.

The rest of your system is great for gaming and would support even stronger GPU's if you wanted. If gaming at 1080p the 970 is considered the sweet spot of price v performance and is much stronger than the 960, it can run all games at 1080p on high to max settings at over 45fps


I would go for a 960 or a 970 but if you think of going to the red side this time i would go with the r9 390x/390 or the r9 380 or the 370
