Hello!
I have a low budget to upgrade my pc. I can't decide which direction I should go.

The 2 choice:
Intel Core i5-4460 with Gigabyte GTX960 OC 2GB
OR
Intel Core i5-4690 with Gigabyte GTX950 OC 2GB

Or even an Intel Core i5-4460 with GTX950 OC 2GB would be good enough? Mostly I'd use it to play games but I'm concerned if the 4460 would be slow if I open like 5 programs and 20-25 browser tabs. Now I have a GTX 460 1GB and an Intel Dual Core 3,2Ghz but they're very old.

What do you guys think I should do?
Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
You will find a very small difference or none at all with the performance of an i5 4460 and i5 4690 in gaming.
The i5 4460 with GTX 960 is a better build.
If you got an SSD and enough memory, you will be fine.
