The 960 is in my price bracket, and I am wondering which one performs best. Less than $230 is optimal, but up to $250 is fine.

My Rig:

CPU: Intel i7 5820K @4.3 GHz; Mobo: MSI X99A SLI Plus; Cooler: Cryorig H5 Ultimate; RAM: 16GB HyperX Fury Black; GPU: MSI R9 380 4GB; Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black w/ Window; SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 256GB and 500GB; HDD: WD Blue 1TB; PSU: EVGA 750W P2

Peripherals:

Monitor: LG 29UM57; Headset: HyperX Cloud II; Keyboard: Gamdias Hermes Mechanical; Mouse: Zowie EC2-A

Get a R9-380 instead unless you need ShadowPlay or GameStream.

 

It offers 5-15% higher performance over the GTX 960 and at a reduced cost. Though, you will need to provide more wattage, so it may not be worth it to you in the long run if you're concerned about power draw.

Okay, then which 380? Also which 960 is best? I'll look at the Nvidia features and see if it's worth it.
