GPU pricing help!

Hey everyone, just a quick question 

 

a GeForce GTX 960 4GB just came up for sale in my local area (Van Island BC) for 100$ CAD. 
 

woild it be a decent upgrade from my GTX 660ti? And able to run with my current 450w PSU (Corsair CX450M)

 

im hoping to sell the 660 off cheap to recoup some of the cost of the 960

 

just trying to figure out if it’ll be worth it.

It would net ~ 40% increase in performance, on average, in a GPU bound scenario. The extra VRAM is nice too.

And still able to run with the 450w?

i know that the newer cards are more efficient at managing power

The 960 is rated at a lower wattage than the 660 Ti. If you run the 660 Ti without issue, the 960 will be perfectly happy.

You’ve been more than helpful my friend, greatly appreciate your assistance. 
 

turns out the bloke who’s selling it actually used to work with me a short while ago. 
 

and that website is great for comparison of GPUs
