Hi
I have over the last year been experiencing spikes and fps drops in almost any game with my GTX 950.
My question is which graphics card i should be looking for. My budget is negotiable, and im simply just looking for a replacement that doesnt kill my wallet but covers my needs, i dont need a super computer that can run the most needy games in highest but just run stable in most new releases.

If you have suggestions to other upgrades i might want to make then im all ears.

My pc specs are:
Corsair 450W
8 gb ram
AMD A8-7650K
ASRock Extreme 4+ motherboard
1 tb HDD
also i have a 1080p monitor

thank you

Corsair is somewhat good/okay, every motherboard from amd is unlocked soo you could see tutorials on YouTube.
Do you have any exaust fans? if not then you could buy one 80mm or 120mm if it fits (that fan is pushing air outside of case)
Stock cooler will handle Extra 500mhz if your stock clock is 3.3Ghz soo 3.8 will be good if you plan to buy new gpu.
If you Search for tutorials on YouTube or sites keep in mind that over 1.35-1.4V on core wont be good on stock cooler.


Probably you should be swapping your CPU and motherboard First. I3-4170 or even i5 with DDR3 to save some cash and have good perfomance from still good generation, gpu can run still at reasonable FPS at medium details, othervise your only bottleneck is your CPU.

If you plan upgrade on new generation or old generation i would suggest 1050ti.
If you don't you could overclock your cpu with better cooler and buy 1050ti.
