what other Graphics cards would you recommend that are a bit better?

My main issue is your PSU. That unit is designed for office use ONLY - i.e. word documents, Excel and web surfing. Not games.

Even Corsair themselves say do not use a VS series unit if you plan to game.

The bare minimum from Corsair that I would suggest for your system is the CX450, but even then through gritted teeth. Something like the Antec VP 450 would be better.

From this article, the 960 is what Digital Foundry recommends for high settings. You'll be getting ~45 FPS in Fallout 4:

They're obviously pairing that with a faster CPU and faster RAM than yours so, expect your frame rate to potentially drop to roughly 30 FPS. Perfectly passable to play at - and again at High Settings.

Future titles will probably have you scaling back the graphics. The build you've listed - is it something you're thinking of buying? Is it a bundle/deal, or something offered to you by a friend? I ask because depending on budget we might be able to suggest something capable of running games at a higher frame rate.

It does suck..

I bought a 960 at the same time the r9 290 was going for 240 bucks.

Because I was led to believe otherwise by some heavily bloated benchmarks..

Well.. Its more of a personal issue with this card, since its an OK card for the value, but I was soooo disappointed.

I've built it from a website, from a list of choices and that's kinda the best I made with the money I have. I could get more but I want to stay under the £500 mark

yeah, ill be up for that. will just have to look at a few tutorials and stuff like that at how to put some bits together. And also, would it be batter for me to buy an AMD quad core or maybe even a six core rather than an intel dual core?
