I have the AMD FX-8320e 8-core processor with Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 motherboard. I was wondering would it be able to handle either the Nvidia Geforce Gtx 960 4gb or the Nvidia Geforce Gtx 970 4gb graphics cards. And was wondering if the 970 was worth the extra money?
 
Solution


get a gtx 1050 ti, it is better than a 960


the 970 is obsolete, so dont buy one unless its for suuuuuuper cheap

a gtx 1060 or rx 480 would be a better choice



Your current cpu would be fine with a decent overclock, not perfect but workable

your motherboard is pretty garbage however, no overclocking

so a stock 8320 is too weak too keep up with either a 1060 or 480

a gtx 1050 ti is going to be cheaper than $150 easy, and its better than a 960


a gtx 1060 or rx 480 is going to be cheaper than $230


dont get a gtx 970 at that price
