Hi, I'm looking to buy GPU for this old system

cpu: Intel core 2 quad q9550 @2.83 GHz , Yorkfield, 12M cache
psu : Corsair cx550
mobo : gigabyte G41MT -s2pt ,f2 version ( PCIe 2.0), 775 socket
Ram: 8gb ddr3
monitor: Dell 1080p (60 htz)

expected to play games at 1080p at 60fps, budget not an issue. also for the future.
I will update the whole built next year, but right now I need GPU for my requirement or shall I buy ps4 slim ??

advise me in both ways,
GPU and ps4 slim.

Thanks

Well, depending on the game, that Q9550 may not cut it anymore. However, as long as your CPU can handle it, the minimum you'll want to look for is a GTX 1050/1050TI or RX 470/570, preferably a GTX 1060 or RX 480/580, if you want one of the newer GPUs. Given their prices, however, you might try something a little older: GTX 960/970 (preferably the letter), or even a GTX 780; alternately, an R9 290/390 or 280/280X/380/380X (I use an R9 380 for 1600x900 gaming myself).
