If you really want a 960 get the cheapest one but I'd get a r9 280.

This^

The R9 280 is a faster card, for a lesser price. + It has 3GB of GDDR5 memory, instead of 2GB

Theres also this deal at where I'm living selling this card @ around 364 usd is it worth it?

Those 280's are all fine, get what is cheapest. That 290x deal is alright, but you could just as well buy a 290 for a little less than 300 bucks now, which is more bang for the buck so to speak.
