Hello

I'm currently in search for a new GPU, since my budget is somewhere aroung 200 $
i was looking at the GTX 960

Examples:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-GTX-960-4G/dp/B00V4HY522/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466632414&sr=1-5&keywords=gtx+960
or
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-GV-N960OC-4GD/dp/B013LDXPFO/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1466632414&sr=1-6&keywords=gtx+960



Here comes my Problem....

Since we are so close to the launch of the new RX 480 (which should be in the same prince range)

I'm wondering if i should wait this additional time or just go with the GTX

also i would like to know if my CPU would already bottleneck either of these two GPU's
(I'm running a Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz)


Thank you very much for your time :)

wait for the rx 480, or if you cant wait get the r9 380. and no, your cpu will be just fine, its not much further behind a 6700, keep in mind your cpu is still great in todays gaming, theres not a major difference between gaming performance between yours, the 4770, or the 6700
