An R9 380 would be a better graphics card for the money (and will perform better). Also, an i3 or i5 shouldn't bottleneck said graphics card. What PSU are you planning on getting?

Indeed R9 Radeon cards are very good cards if you want to get the ultimate frame buffer limit ! :þ

A $750 budget could get an R9 390. Good performance than 960, even a 970.

 

 

List out your complete build.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.
