For a i5-4690K system the GTX 750Ti is a tad lightweight.

Also the PSU is seriously oversized for this set up. But if you are planning for the future that’s OK.

Sadly the next step up from the GTX 750Ti is the 960 which is 33% more expensive (roughly $200) but is 60% faster. It’s also has a little more Dx12 support than the 1st gen Maxwell GPU in the 750Ti.

It’s sad BTW about the large gap in performance, that nVidia doesn’t have a card in between the two. But the 750Ti’s selling point is the base model doesn’t need external power so a PSU upgrade isn’t as much of a possibility, not that the 750Ti is a best bang for the buck in terms of performance. You’re paying for the low power requirement which is nullified by the OC, duel fan nature of the 750Ti card you picked.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

I was seriously considering just going for the 960 is only 80$ more. Should I stick with the PSU if i decide to go with the 960 and in the future look to upgrade past that to a 980 or higher? Or what PSU should I be looking to get that will be a solid pick.

Your PSU will be enough for both 960 and 980. If you want your PSU to be a bit more future proof you could get one like EVGA Supernova G2 850W.

I highly recommend getting a 2nd hand video card now, and upgrade next year when Nvidia Pascal comes out.

- Take z97 MB instead of that h97 if you take an unlocked cpu and you’ll be able to overclock it. If you don’t plan to, save money and take the i5 4690 non K.
- Take a much cheaper PSU, that’s a completely overkill one only needed for SLI/Crossfire (which I don’t recommend). I have the Corsair RM550 and is more than enough.
- Take the GTX 960 so you will be able to max the game without problems.
- I don’t see a cpu cooler, which is fundamental since the stock one is crap. Take a 212 evo or a Cryorig H5.
- Take faster RAM, it will add few more fps since this game is so cpu instensive.
