hi as the title suggests i am looking for cheaply upgrading my pc but looking for a moderately higher priced guard keep in mind that all cards in india cost approximately 100$ more than amazon us in amazon.in and i am looking for a card that is around gtx 950-960 2gb ddr5
note:evga is not supplying in india
and 960 4gb oc edition ia bit of stretch but i am willing to go for it seeing that a graphics card will give 3 years of life to my pc
running right now
on a cheap 450w supply which is to be upgraded
to a branded one for the new card
i am looking at a 40$-50$
power supply
corsair vs series (450/550w)
i dont know how much i require but the setup is given below


another question i have gigabyte h81m-s motherboard are the graphic card compatible , i have enough space i have checked already as per specs sheet
of asus strix 2gbddr5 gtx960
what i am to be running
i5-4440
ram
hyper x kingston 8gb 1866(tuned down to 1333)
+ 4 gb 1333 hynix
graphics
gt610(to be replaced by gtx 950-960)
2 case fans at 0.25amps(each)
a new 250gb ssd to be bought
looking at this costs about 110$ in india

Cpu-Get a i5 4460/i3 4160
Motherboard-an H81 board that support refreshed intel processors
Video Card-Either the r9 280x or the gtx 960 choose ones you favor
Power supply-Any good quality 500w psu will do as long you're not planning to crossfire
Ram-Get a 4x2 1600mhz ram they're pretty cheap right now
Storage-Grab a HDD instead of SSD 1TB or 500GB doesn't matter
Case-Choose one you like

Well @rayzaldy I have a working computer right now which already is running the upper set up , it is a gaming upgrade that is to be CHEAP so CPU upgrade is not happening for 1.5 years , to help gfx take on the CPU with ease the ssd is being added
And then as of now I m using A 7$ PSU but still m gonna upgrade as a gtx 950/960 2gb costs 275/315$ respectively .
And then adding a 70$ or more PSU

It's better to grab an HDD and save the money for something else like the cpu or gpu or even psu if you have a bad quality one. And if you're not planning to upgrade either grab the i5 4460 or the cheap option which is grabbing the fx 6300 with a cheap "overclockable" motherboard

He already has an i5 4440 and a HDD, hes getting the SSD as an upgrade.

Well it's not really worth it to grab an ssd unless you have a very wide budget which you are not. In this case you should save your money and change your psu to a better quality ones(there is a cheap quality evga psu for like 30-40$ but i forgot i saw it on pcpartpicker) or buy a new gpu like the r9 270x instead of 950 and r9 280/380 instead of 960

Well ssd is three weeks after upgrade ok
Gfx finalized 960 4gb factory oc
(because i will use this very thing for may be 4 years and i am also youtubing by the channel name theREVhead) u may as well check it out recently reviewd go pro third party stuff
Hence rendering is also there and currently somehow gt610refuses to do it and then i have to wait for intel hd4600 to do 15 min video
Rendering time minimum 24 minutes, max 36 mins
And because all this i want a good psu because my pc stays up for 8-10 hrs with load and 12-14 random stuff that doeant call. The gt610 more than 20%

No bro , they re not availabe

I went out researched in market and did create specific thread for PSU where they suggested me antec vp450 and well my budget has already exceeded so did decide to add vp550 as it will be future proof if I upgrade CPU&motherboard (I don't like the term MoBo)
