hi guys, need some advice. been out the loop for a while.......stil running an watercooled msi 6870 - shows how long lol. well now need to upgrade the lot.
gpu wise im sort of tied between two cards. 4gb zotac 960 & 4gb sapphire nitro-x r9 380x. now there is only 20/30 quid between them, now is that extra worth it? looking on comparison the 380x does hold sway but is also power hungry compared to the 960.
it'll be paired with an i5 on an asrock com h110 board, so it's a budget build to a point.....but budget is absolute max of £500. so what would you opt for and why?

I have a i5 2500 on a H61 board with an R9 285 2gb and it runs the majority of things at 1080p on max and everything on at least high. If you have a power supply that can handle the 380 and you aren't wanting to use any nVidia features (such as Shadow Play) I'd definitely go for that though. Power consumption over time is negligible and you'll be getting a better card for you pounds.
