I'm approaching an upgrade day and I have a split path between upgrading my video card or my monitor. (Kinda like a Quality vs. Performance thing here)
If I were to upgrade my video card I would upgrade to a GTX 950 or GTX 760 TI. (I currently have a Radeon R7 250)
And if I were to upgrade my monitor I would upgrade to... well any wide screen monitor. (I currently have a Princeton VL1919 - Grade A - 19" LCD Monitor with too many dead pixels for my taste) And yes I plan to play at least at 1440 x 900 with at least medium settings.
Note that I am not a hardcore gamer either, I'm causal at best. Here's a small list of games I play:
-Cities: Skylines
-The Sims 3
-Melody's Escape
-Audiosurf
-Team Fortress 2
-Terraria
-The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
-Stardew Valley
So yeah, I don't play the MOST demanding games but my interests can change in a couple of months so I want to make this upgrade as useful as possible. So what will be upgrade my monitor or upgrade my video card?
My specs:
CPU : AMD A10-7860K
GPU : Radeon R7 250
RAM : HyperX 8GB (2x)
MoBo : ASRock FM2A88M Pro3+
Case : Raidmax Viper GX
PSU : Logisys 575 Watt PSU
