    The processor is fine but I really would try to bump up to a GTX 960 if GTA V is a desired streaming option. It will definitely work on the 950 but it would be more comfortable on the 960. Other than that it looks good! An SSD is another upgrade option but if you are on a tight budget you can hold off on that for now :D Can always clone onto an SSD in the future.

    Guessing OP is a young lad?

    Go with the 950, and save like mad. Second hand 390 and 970 market will explode when Polaris is released, the 950 will do for a while, it's a good card

    This this this this this this.
    You might even be able to sell the 950 on for about €100 and put it toward a 390/970.
