Sapphire R9 380. Why? Because it's a better card offering 15% more performance and a memory interface that can handle 4GB

Yeah, i had some serious dudes about my purchase. I finally got the MSI GAMING 2G GTX 960. My problems were:

1- I wasn´t sure that my PSU could handle the r9 ( Thermaltake TR2 600W without 80 plus)

2- People in general complained about AMD

Let me know your opinion

TR2 is abysmal - 960 and 380 both draw almost the same amount and I would still highly recommend you replace it. XFX TS 550W is cheap as fuck at about 40$

Depending on the complaints it might have been just fanboys defending their purchase.
