Hi!

I cannot choose between the 2 cards. I know that the r9 is a better card, but I'm not sure if I should go for it, since It's like 50 bucks more in my country and I'm on a budget. I also fear that the r9 will bottleneck with my current spec. My monitor's max resolution is 1650x1050.

My spec:

CPU: i5-3470
PSU: XFX TS 550W
Memory: Corsair 2x4GB

Should I go for the GTX 950, or should I plan for the future and go for the R9 380?

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
r9 380 is similar to the 960... and the 960 is better than the 950.. r9 380 have 4-10 fps advantage over 960 in many occasions... so r9 380 is worth the extra money...

they can both max out your resolution but the r9 380 is the best for the money, and it is also the best option if you want to upgrade to a higher resolution monitor later.
