Get an factory overclocked GTX 950 which is about as good as the 960. Then spend the extra money on some games

380 if same or similar price.

That said where I am I haven't seen 380s below 220 (all of the reputable brands that is) or so, 960s I've seen in the 170-199 dollar range and 950s I've seen around 140-170 dollars.

For that price set, well it's hard to say.

I'd still probably grab a 380 but a 80 dollar price difference between the 950 and the 380 is pretty tempting if I were to only be doing htpc or 720p gaming.

But hey, I'm a dude with a 3k dollar computer setup so me judging the low end of hardware is difficult.

You're right. It isn't helpful to anyone to make a note that my perspective on the value of money when it comes to computer parts might not be inline with the OP (given that he/she was looking a a much much cheaper card) before just taking any advice I may or may not have.

Ok, last one, promise!

Bla bla bla, my dear fellow, you missunderstood what I ment. When I stated that my penis is so large that that I have to wear it around the neck as a scarf, - and do be honest, it is the most impressive piece of man saussage - it is so altruistically!.. Tgis is only to help others... Bla bla bla...

Get an factory overclocked second hand R9 290 which is about as double as good as the 960. Then spend the extra money on some games.

xD not really. I am perfectly happy with mine. Makes wife happy too. She sometimes borrows it so much that I am often forced to remind her that I also need it for other functions. I swear, if she didn't use it ao much , reboots would be much faster when needed...

How dare you sir! I do not stoop so low as to discuss pervasions and trickery on a public forum! I don't know what goes on inside your head but it is deeply perverse! Talking about my computer! xD

The question was a 950 or a 960. Not a 960 or a second hand 290.

Doesn't change the fact the 290 will steamroll a 960 for the same price in this case.
