(12k gpu+1 tb 7200 rpm hd) OR gtx 960 ?

[udaylunawat]

I require a 15k upgrade for my rig. I have an old 5400 rpm hd and a 1 tb external . I don't require any more storage. What's better upgrade a 12k gpu(750ti/r7 265x) +7200 rpm hd (wd blue) OR should I wait for GTX 960 to release and see the price drops. Also suggest would I eye improves frame rates with an ssd.

My config -
Intel i5 4440
Gigabyte b85m-d3h
Corsair vengeance 4 GB
Dell s2240l 22 inch 1080p
Antec vp550p - 550w
Deepcool tesseract sw
Logitech mk220
Samsung HD502HI 5400 rpm 500gb

definitely the GPU if u want pure performance

go for HDD if your currrent one is failing or about to fail

SSD's effect on games will be few seconds of improved loading times. And the games will need to be installed on the SSD. Some new games take 40+GB of space so ummmmm... no use spending on SSD for gaming. Not worth the money spent.

As for HDD, it all depends on your situation. is it giving you problems? Are you running out of space? No use getting a fancy GPU when you dont have space to install games mwahahahaha

Thanks mikael. I dont have storage issues so would be going for 960 GTX.

Do you have any idea when gtx 950/960 series of cards are likely to be released?I am also waiting for them with great anticipation as i intend to upgrade my gpu once they become available.

~26th january US Launch date, a month more probably for India
3 versions coming up
GTX 960, GTX 960 Ti and GTX 965 Ti
(960 Ti is R9 280X competitor)

 

[quicky008]

Thanks for the info,how much do you think the primary one ie gtx 960 will cost?Will it support Dx12?

Wait for GTX 960. Looks good.

cant say, but im guessing less than the price of R9 280X
960 ti should cost around the same, maybe 1-2k more..

 

[HE-MAN]

my guess since there might be 3 version they all will cost from 15k to 20k max.

all i can say is it will be good card for 1080p gaming. also pricing in india is really weird for pc components coz of all the tax and duties

Would r9 280 not be a better option?
