However I will need a new graphics card instead of the Nvidia 610 that I currently have. The graphics cards I am considering for the upgrade are these: GeForce GTX 960 GeForce GTX 950 GeForce GTX 750 Ti I am wanting the 950 or 960 most but I don't know if I would need to upgrade other items for them, or if I went with the 750 if I would have to upgrade anything else, or could just put it in and be done, thank you for the help!

But if you are patient I would wait till the next gen stuff to come out. If nothing is interesting about the new gen stuff then id get the 970 since the price for those will most likely to drop because companies want to get rid of them from their inventory.

I'm also going to upgrade to 8gb ram Link to comment

I'm also going to upgrade to 8gb ram I currently have this 960: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012NOWERC/ It's a good card for the price. Although a 500w PSU would be just fine, I recommend getting something 620w+ if you ever plan on adding anything later on. Link to comment

So I went and bought a 600W Power supply, and a GTX 950 and the results vs to what i've had my whole life, I AM BLOWN AWAY!!! For $30 more though I think I am going to order the 960 from amazon and return the 950, I can actually play games in HIGH I always have played in the lowest, I am so happy, totally worth the $180 Next is to upgrade to 8gb ram!

Glad to hear. I remember the feeling I had switching from my nearly 5 year old GPU to the GTX 960. The increase in performance everywhere was pretty substantial. Link to comment
Guest harro Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If you're planning to run games like MGS5/Fallout 4/Witcher 3 at 1080p at medium to high settings, you'll probably get 40-60 fps with the GTX 960. You should also look into the R9 380 as it's pretty much the same thing as the GTX 960 but the 4gb model costs considerably ($20-$30) less. I wouldn't touch the 950 or the 750ti but out of those two the 750ti would be better. Otherwise, everything else looks fine, you might want to add another stick of RAM as I think 8gb is sort of entry-level for gaming systems nowadays. edit: Oh you already bought a card, rip.
