i don't have enough money for a 1080, let alone a 1060
besides, literally anything other than a GT 730 is an upgrade from what i have rn

you need to install a new graphics card

I would get something thats VR ready, since you'll probably want one 5 years from now, and its great on games anyhow.
Getting used graphics cards off of craigslist or something isn't bad, thats how I got my graphics card.
A used GTX 970 is under $200
The new RX 480 is VR ready and only $200MSRP new, but their drivers are a little fishy and I'd recommend getting AT LEAST a 550w power supply for that.
But if you just want something that plays games well, a GTX 950 would be good. |

"I would get something thats VR ready, since you'll probably want one 5 years from now, and its great on games anyhow." This graphics card is only going to be temporary, I'll be saving up like $1,500 for a really good system with Intel Xeon E3, 32GB RAM, GTX 1080 SLI

Oh your budget is $160?
See if there are any used GTX 970's around that price range.
If not, a new GTX 950 (preferably the FTW edition) would be just fine. |

I honestly don't think that a GTX 970 is a good choice for my build, the FX-6300 would probably bottleneck it
