Personally if I was going to build a system with an i7 and a 960 I would spend the extra $15 on a power supply with a tiny bit more juice for a possible upgrade to a better graphics card at a later date. You can always sell the 960 later to make an upgrade cheaper.
My last system I had to replace my graphics card twice when they died on me. It was a pain having to make sure my little 450w PSU could power the card I wanted. Things tended to die a little easier back then but still it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
