Hi i want to upgrade my graphics card but I'm not sure what the best upgrade for me would be. Right now my set up is:
HP dc5800 Microtower
16GB RAM
Intel core 2 quad Q6600 (Want to upgrade to Q9650)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650
I heard the GTX 960 would be good but i want to know my options. Thanks!

Your CPU is quite old so I wouldn't recommend upgrading to something too powerful otherwise you'll have a huge bottleneck. I recommend you upgrade your cpu first, to something like an i5 or i3. A gtx 950 wouldn't bring much of an upgrade since it's performance would be stunted.
