Hello everyone, it's my 1st time posting here so sorry if I make any mistake.

My friend's current PC:
- i5 3330
- gtx 630
- 6gb ram

My friend wants to upgrade his GPU and wants to mainly play Overwatch and a few AAA games from nowadays and maybe some future ones.

The GPU we have in mind for his budget is GTX 950. I would like to know what kind of performance he would have changing only the GPU in Overwatch (1080p) and would 8gb of ram matter in this case?

Also, for how much time do you think this configuration (with 8gb ram) would be enough to play AAA games at stable 30fps 1080p medium setings?

Additionally, we also saw that rx 460 fits in his budget, is this card better than gtx 950? If yes is the 4gb version worth it?

Thank you very much for your time.
 
Solution
The RX460 is based on a newer architecture is around 10% faster than the GTX950 looking at the various reviews/comparison sites. Given your running at 1080p and looking at medium settings, I would go for the RX460 4GB and bump your RAM to 8GB as you suggest.
