Hello, I live in France and I'm looking for a decent graphics card for my future PC.
The CPU will be intel i5-4590 (3.3GHz) with 8GB RAM.
I'm not very good at PC's, so I don't know what to choose.
I have the option between GTX 960 and GTX 760Ti. Which one will be decent?
Thx :)
 
Like coolcole01 have said 960 will be better. However, if u want to run game smoothly at high/ultra setting I suggest you buy a Nvidia GTX 970 OR R9 290/290x . From my experience with 290x so far, it's pretty badass, I am able to run game at 1080p maxed out (depend on some game) always got 50-60 fps.
 
I would recommend the GTX 970 but if you're choosing between the two you listed then the 960 since it is the newer (current) generation card and will support DX12 when it is in full swing.

When looking at GPU specs CUDA cores, bus width, etc does not tell the whole story: architecture, DX support, etc make a big difference. Always go with the latest (newest) generation available if you can.
