GPU UPGRADE.

Feb 28, 2016 11:40PM PST

Well HELLO GUYS!
I think the time is here, to upgrade my GPU, so im posting here to have some recommendations, coz my GPU knowledge and experience is not at its finest!
Im listing below my rig's specs so u can help me pick the best option for me.

CPU: Intel i5 4460
MOBO: Gigabyte H97-HD3
RAM: 2x4 HyperX Fury 1600 MHz (the red ones)

My setup does not contain dual monitors, or high end single monitor like 4k.
I have a normal fullHD Monitor.
My Budget is around 150-200€ euros.
I was thinking of buying MSI VGA GTX950 - 2GB

Im waiting for your recommendations
Best regards.
I.T.

You didnt tell why you want to buy a new graphic card, so it's difficult to advise.

All I can say now: any card that fits the motherboard (PCI-E x16) and doesn't overtax the PSU would be fine.

Shop for a gtx 960.
Should be in your budget and better for gaming.
