Hi, I am looking for a replacement for my good old Gigabyte gtx 560 Ti (RIP 2011-2016). The rest of pc:
CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 970 BE
RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 CL9
MB: Gigabyte 870A USB3 (3.1)
Corsair CX600 V2
(+Western Digital Black 1TB, SATA/600, 7200RPM, 64MB, WD1003FZ, SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (MZ-75E250B))
_________________
I need my PC for editing video and sometimes I play games (sure... GTA V, Titanfall, etc. on FHD). I know the rest of PC is quite old, but it works fine - I would like to buy a new GPU now and cpu, mb, memory lets say after one year? My budget is around 250$ - for that I can buy where I live MSI NVIDIA GTX 960 GAMING 4G (the 2GB version is 10$ cheaper). Could you help which GPU to choose? (I guess I wont find some overkill for my current build - which would be totally fine because I am planning on upgrade the rest- for that budget, but I sure want the best I can get for that money)
Thank you.

If you plan to keep it 2 years go for the 4gb 960, if you will be tempted by the new stuff coming in the next 6 months, go cheap.

Is that "bit longer" worth the extra +- 70$?
