The R9 380 is fantastic 960, outperforming the rest by 10-15%

Get a 4GB R9 380, 2GB cards are quite limited in their longevity (and susceptibility to shitty ports).

MSI's card is the quietest but might be getting a few MHz less of an OC than an EVGA (still all depends on the lottery) and in the end my effect your performaance but an unnoticeable amount of 1%-3%

Yes, but maybe a little bit less though :/ I'd say ~10% or ~8% but noticebaly, yes.

Not really what I was asking though? 

Why do you need a 960 over the R9 380 4GB, benchmarks favour it. Unless you really need a Nvidia specific feature (e.g for a shield device) I see no reason.

MSI is the best but o would strongly suggest getting the 380. It is a much better card for the same price.

Which one? 

I personally love the Asus Strix cards, good cooling and a little bit more clockspeed out of the box.

Current Build: Core i7 4790k @ 4.6, Asus Maximus VII Hero, Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400mhz 8gb (2x4gb), GTX 980ti, NZXT Kraken X61, Fractal Define R5  EVGA Supernova B2 850w, Some 300gb hard drive.
