Hello Guys, currently this is what I am aiming for
CPU: Intel Core i3-4170 3.70GHz (Dual Core) Haswell Refresh Processor - P 5350 (or $116)
MoBo: ASRock H97M Anniversary P 3750 (or $81)
RAM: Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600 CL9 (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL) - P 2100 (or $45)
PSU: Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS Bronze - P 2600 (or $56)
I will salvage my old 500 GB Seagate Barracuda
I was thinking what GPU i should get (no AMD, only Nvidia, less power consumption)
Either I go with
MSI GTX 960 Twin Frozr Gaming 2GB 128Bit DDR5 P 10900 (or $236)
or
Palit GTX 960 Jetstream 2GB 128 Bit P 9790 (or $212)
I saw here that GTX 960 4GB is a gimmick and should not be bought because 128 bit can't get 2.5GB up VRAM which makes the 4GB useless..is that true?
Anyways, the Palit GTX 960 Jetstream 4GB 128 bit is P 10850 (or $ 235, yes $1 cheaper than MSI GTX 960 2GB)
So any thoughts what GTX 960 should i buy and what are the factors that makes it great?
Should I consider Asus here? They said Asus GTX 960 (or any other Asus gtx) has cheap fans and.or heatsink.
Asus GTX 960 Strix P 10500 (or $228)
Hopefully this is what i strive for:
Performance comes first, Quality comes second, Silent, Budget then Aesthetic
I'll buy which performs best but also with quality. I don't want it to break in less than a year or so.
