buy an r9 280x, its roughly the same price and you get an extra gigabyte and better performance/dollar

CPU:I5 4670K   GPU:Radeon HD 7850 2 GB (To be upgraded)   RAM:2 x 8 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3   Motherboard:MSI Z97S SLI Plus

A 960 is generally cheaper than a 285 and is only missing 1GB of VRAM which is more than enough for 1080p. It also performs on par. It's a good deal unless you can find a cheaper 285 with a nice cooler. 280's are also an options but are almost the same price and perform slightly worse or on par from what I've seen on YouTube videos. Either way, if you can get a 280X new for almost the same price and a decent cooler, go for it. Other than that, consider what I said before this. What's your build may I ask?
