What is a nice upgrade?

[Bludmon88]

Fallout 4 just came out so I am looking for a step up from my current graphics card which is an Nvidia GTX 750 (non ti). I was looking at an Nvidia GTX 960. Do you guys think this would be good upgrade to invest in? I also would like to ask if this is compatible with my current MSI H81M-E33 Micro ATX motherboard. I dont see why it wouldnt be since i do have a PCI-16x port in there.. i think.. Im really not sure and dont have much knowledge about this quite yet. I also am hoping my PSU can handle it. I have a 600W 80 plus (whatever 80 plus means..) PSU. If you need info on my current specs, here is what i currently know:
- Intel core i3 4150 3.5Ghz
- Nvidia GTX 750 (non ti)
- 600W 80 plus PSU
- 1 TB HDD
- Windows 10 64-bit


Also, do i need one of those anti static wristbands as well when upgrading it? Thank you.

I would suggest a GTX 970. It is around that GPU sweet spot. I would actually prefer a R9 390 but it uses more power and you may need to upgrade your PSU for that. Just about any GPU can fit into a Mobo. I'm more concerned about the case and if a 970 can fit in it.
80+ mean the effeciency of your PSU. There are 4 categories at different efficiency but I'm just gonna use 80+ bronze at 80%. PSU will take 600W of power from the outler and outputs 80% of it, which is 480W, for your PC to use. The other 20% is lost as heat

GTX960 will be a nice and appropriate upgrade.

Do not worry about antistatic wrist straps.
Just don't shuffle your feet on carpet while changing out the card.
Power off the pc first, and just touch a metal part of the case or psu to discharge any possible static.

So just to confirm the EVGA GTX 960 SSC with ACX 2.0+ cooling will be compatible with my current micro ATX motherboard, right? Thanks again for responding.
