Zotac GTX960 2GB @ 15250 from PL Computers,CTC,Secunderabad.

MSI GTX960 2GB @ 15500 from PL Computers,CTC,Secunderabad.

Asus Strix GTX960 2GB @ 15500 from Swetha Computers,CTC,Secunderabad.

Zotac has extended warranty (2+3 years warranty)upon purchase.(You have to register on its website for extended warranty)

Choose for yourself.

PS: Just found the prices 4 days ago.So wont change much I think so.
 
yes, the gtx 960 will run off a quality 400-450 watt psu so no issues for you.
mobo and cpu are also fine for your new gpu.
Just don't overclock anything on your system as the vs is corsair's most basic unit.
 
Dear techies i have small doubt
My mother board Expansion Slots are..
  1. 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
  2. 1 x PCI Express x1 slot
    (All PCI Express slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
  3. 1 x PCI slot
But GTX 960 is PCI Express 3.0
It will give any problem... Please educate me.

Thank you for your help

No no, an oc'ed 960 for under 16k is a great deal!
what temps are you getting?
during gaming temps of upto 70-80 degrees are common.
improving case airflow can help a lot (i.e. adding case fans)
to determine if it's an airflow problem just remove the side panel of the cabinet and see if temps improve.

ok, witcher 3 is quite a taxing game. there are 3 things you can do:
1. open the side panel and if temps drop while gaming then add more case fans.
2. underclock the card. i.e. turn it's clock speed down to reference levels and see if temps are lower during gaming.
3. or if you don't feel like bothering with all that then try turning down the game details. turn off soft shadows, high decals, hdr and other fancy lighting effects.
 
Thank you so much if I open my side panel temperature dropping almost maximum 69 degrees only..

Any idea about best case fans
I have option in may cabinet to put two extra case fans. .
 
The best option is to put a small table fan beside the case and leave the side open. It will bring in dust though.
My old rig ran high temps and the case didn't have more than 2 fan slots, so this is what I did.
 
80 degrees for Witcher 3 at High is actually not that bad. If you can add a cooler like H100i or atleast a 80i, that would help a lot as AMD processors tend to increase overall temp inside the case. Also, if possible make your case with positive pressure which is more intake and less exhaust. It helps reducing dust accumulation as well. For best performance of air cooling, H100i in the front with Push/Pull config as intake, 2 x 140 in the top as exhaust and a 120/140 in the rear as exhaust.
