    Newegg has the EVGA GTX 960 FTW 4GB graphics card on sale for $189. Thinking about getting it to replace my 5 yr old GTX 460. Just wondering if it's worth the money or not? Thanks in advance!

    If VR is a possibility then I consider the GTX 970 is the best value for money option, given it also meets the Oculus specs for the CV1 Rift.

    Thanks noorbeast.....I'll probably have to wait a couple more yrs then for VR with a new pc build altogether. I got enough ram but that's about it. Maybe have to check into doing just triples for now but I'm limited on space too!
