It will give you a boost of like 8 fps I think. Is that worth it? I don't think so. You're free what you want to do with your money but I don't it would be a wise investment. Rather wait for Nvidia Pascal coming in 4 months.

I wouldn't recommend it, adding a 960 won't give you THAT much of a boost...If anything you can sell that 950 and get a used 960....

Ya the taxes and stuff would bring it to the sale price at a store or maybe even higher.

Best finding one online where you live, wait until your local electronics store has a sale, or....another card less expensive but still gives performance.

a gtx 960, but that is not a very good boost at all



Overclock your current 950 and it will reach gtx 960 speeds easily



also full system specs and the games you want to play?

*The AMD R9 390 requires a 620 watts power supply or better with atleast a suggested 48 amps or better on the 12v rail. If you don't have such a power supply, but you do have a good quality 500 watts atleast, then the GTX 970 is the recommended choice
