Hi, Guys.. Pure for gaming (very little on work, mostly excel).. I am looking at the spec below and trying to do with min budget as i can ... plan to get it end of the year..

i3 4160
Ram 8GB
GPU - R9 380 or GTX 640 (Any recommendation ? if I would like to keep my PSU and is it advisable ?)

**Aim to play latest game with high setting at 1080... and target to upgrade the CPU before 1150 phase out end of 2016 .. if with this senario, should I go with G3258?

My current rig:-
Intel E6750
Asus P5G41c-M LX
Kingston DDR3 4GB
WD 1TB Black
Palit GT 630
Enermax Tomahawk 500

Don't downgrade the i3 to G3258, i3 isn't really sufficient for latest game with high settings nowadays, downgrading to a dual core (w/o HT) G3258 will take you even further away from your personal requirements.

There isn't a GTX640 so I think it is a typo and you are comparing R9 380 to GTX960, perhaps?

R9 380 is recommended to run on a better PSU as it draws more power than standard GTX960, if you are going to change PSU to a more decent one, then R9 380 with more VRAM will be a much better choice and future proof.

Sorry yes .. typo .. May I know how much will these cost me in total ? with the motherboard included. As in term of PSU, any recommendation if I am going for R9 380 and how much ?

Excluding casing, hdd, dvd rom and monitor .. Thanks
