Thinking of upgrading my currently 5 yr old rig for Witcher 3.

Current:
i5 760 @ 2.8ghz
4gb ram
gtx460
psu 400w

Thinking of either getting GTX 750 Ti or 960.. leaning towards the 960 as i only buy a card once in 5 years. Prolly a new right by the next time.

Would the current processor bottle neck the system much with the gtx 960?

Which GTX 960 would be the best bang for the buck (in terms or value)

Do i need to upgrade anything else? Ram?

The 960 should be fine , there will be a slight bottleneck but not much, I'm more concern with ram since I noticed most triple A titles are starting to use up more than 3GB. For example GTA V can chew up to 5GB after some playing time. You can try buying from cyntrixtech since they're having their warehouse sales right now https://www.facebook.com/cyntrixtech/photos...?type=1&theater
Hmm , i was about to suggest a 970 but then i saw the ram. Add another stick of 4GB and get the 960. Saw a demo a while back that a single gtx 980 can run witcher 3 at very good frame rates. If its true then with the 960, dial down some of the settings and it should be very playable.
