Select the one for 184.99 then MIR for 20 = 164.99

No, the gpu is definetly what's "killing it". 4gbs of ram is too little nowadays but it's not your problem right now for sure (though a $30 stick of ram will help you with the other stuff you do like multitasking, hd video reproduction with multiple windows open on chrome, etc.).

Just to give you some sort of comparison between your gpu and more modern ones: (650ti vs:)

• (starting with nvidia's gpus) gtx 750ti --- 40-60% faster, costs $110, has 2gb of vram.
  
  
• gtx 950 --- almost x2 faster, costs $120-$140, comes with 2gb of vram too.
  
  
• gtx 960 --- about x2.2 faster, costs $200, also 2gb of vram
  
  
• gtx 970/980/1070/1080 are all of course much much faster, but im assuming you dont play on 4k anyways so they may be overkill.
  
  
• (AMD's gpus now) r7 260/360 --- a little bit faster than your card, around 30% and 50% and both cost anything between $100 and $140 (like this 360 at $100)
  
  
• r9 380/380x --- about as fast as the 960 (the 380x is maybe a tad bit faster) and definetly faster than the 950, so about x2 and x2.2 as fast. They cost $200 and $230 but now their prices are definetly going down because.....
  
  
• rx 480 --- basically x3 your card, since it apparently matches up with the 980, it will cost 200$ at 4gb of vram and $230 if you want it to have 8gb of vram.
  
  What i'm saying is that you can spend $30 on a 4gb stick of ram, get 1-5 fps boost and a significant boost in your overall windows/macos/linux experience, or get a rx 480/gtx 950 for 200(my recomendation) or 150 dollars and get a significant boost, probably getting to playable levels at medium in 1080p with the 950 and most definetly full 60fps at max settings on 1080p with the new rx 480. You can also do both and probably be done with upgrading your pc for a long while, maybe 3 years or more even.
  
  Also, the 750ti, 950, 960 and 480 all need very little power compared to other cards, so you can probably just swap them with your current 650 without much hassle. I would ask /r/buildapc for more info on compatibility.

Reuse everything else.

If you want, you can spend $16 more on the graphics card and get one that should run a little cooler, quieter, faster and has 4GB of RAM. Not that the extra RAM is really going to have any benefit at all for FSX.

Hi, I'm considering running two gtx960s in SLI on my system but I'm not sure if I am able to.

My PC has a MSI 970A-G43 motherboard with an AMD fx-6300 processor, 8gb of ddr3 RAM and one gtx 960 4gb VRAM currently (The second one is this: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 PCiE Graphics Cards GV-N960OC-4GD, it's a 960 but much smaller and says Windforce on the front). I also have a 1tb 7200rpm HDD, 128gb kingston ssd, a DVD-RW drive that takes about 10 watts and a WiFi card that takes about 5 watts. My PSU is an EVGA 500watt supply.

There are a few things that might stop me from being able to use SLI:

-My PSU is only 500 watts, and when I used a power usage calculator it had a load wattage of just under 500 and a recommended wattage of about 540. I'm ok with disconnecting my DVD-RW drive, which would bring it down to about 530. Can I cut it this close? How screwed will I be if something goes wrong, since it's not over 500watts by much? And is there a way I can decrease the clock speed or something else to lower the power consumption of the GPUs?

-Another potential problem is while both graphics cards are 960s, one is a standard graphics cards size while the other is much smaller and seems to be a slightly different model (I posted what it is exactly above). Will they still be compatible?

-My last question is will I have an overheating problem? My case is an Enermax that was $50 dollars and has one fan on the back next to the CPU fan. I don't remember the exact model but I would describe the cooling capacity as "adequate" currently.

I have a feeling the answer to this question is that I shouldn't do it, but I at least want to know what I would need to change before I could. I know this is kind of an essay, so thank a lot for any answers.

Will this GPU: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B013LDXPFO?pc_redir=T1&tag=pcp0f-20

Fit in this case: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02575956

Guys, I built my PC with the 480 in mind but with its problems, I been told to wait for aftermarket models. And I been without a GPU for 2 weeks now. I need a GPU, man.

Thinking of getting https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013LDXPFO/ . Thoughts? Seems a decent price factoring in the rebate. My goal is 1080 60 fps gaming for recent games like Witcher 3, and able to play medium settings for coming games.

Amazon has one for $288.19 with free shipping.

Here's what I found

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013LDXPFO/

oh shit, my bad, i meant to write 960, this is the specific product i was looking at http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960OC-4GD/dp/B013LDXPFO/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1456878306&sr=1-4&keywords=geforce+960

I think I am gonna stick with this card , the price and shipping is kind of what I am looking for. Last question I promise, Pcpartpicker said that the card may be too big by like 25 mm. Will that be a big problem?

i got it off amazon, its this one

http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960OC-4GD/dp/B013LDXPFO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1462319130&sr=8-6&keywords=gtx960+4GB

and no closest one is in san jose and im in santa cruz, no car

NVidia's website says that I can run the GTX960 with a 400W power supply. I think I'd be safe with my current supply. Should I get this card? The only concern I have with the card is that it might be too big for my case. Do you happen to know the physical size of it? The GTX970 is like two inches too big for my computer, so if the 960 is smaller, then it should fit.

Here's the card I was looking at: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960OC-4GD/dp/B013LDXPFO?ie=UTF8&keywords=gtx%20960&qid=1463703234&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4

Is there a better version of the 960 that I could buy? I'm thinking 4GB is the best upgrade. Which is the smallest size, dimensions wise?

Hi, I've recently been upgrading my PC and want a new graphics card. Besides price, is there really any difference between these two 960s? eVGA and Gigbyte

Is there another (similarly priced, like <$200ish USD) GPU you would suggest? Thanks!
