I want to get a 4gb 960 but not shure wich one should i get. My options are EVGA SSC, ASUS Strix or MSI Twin Frozer. I also wanted to know if my current power supply could support this gpu, i have a CoolerMaster 600w power supply, don't have the model with me right now. All i know is that it haves a 18A 12v dual rail.

Thanks!

Do you really need the 4GB model? If you're on a budget, go with the 2GB one. As for which one, I'd go with the EVGA one.

Sapphire R9 380

 

If you really want a 960, all the ones you listed are good. I like EVGA the best.

2GB isn't near enough for today's games if you're doing full settings 1080p, which the 960 is supposed to do. I use around 2.5GB VRAM playing Fallout 4, and the settings aren't even maxed out. 

I used to be quite active here.

Well it depends on what do you want.

If you want silcence you better get a Windforce card. Luke recently posted a video with the SSC. Personally Idon't like MSI cards, but hey, lots of people are using them. The strix one is ugly in my opinion (yes, function over form), so from these 3 you are better with the SSC.

Or you can go for a R9 380, Sapphire, MSI, Powercooler, or XFX

 

Better preformance ;)

 

EVGA and MSI for the 960 i think are the best brands 

If he wants a 380 he better get Sapphire. No chance for the XFX because of the poor cooler.

Yeah your PSU should do it. I just got the EVGA FTW 4gb for reletively cheap and am SUPER happy with it. From what I see the EVGA is at the top of the 960 pile. I was even able to squeeze another 100mhz out of it after the factory OC. they're kinda on sale on Amazon if you look at the right times. I got mine for $183 USD.

better than gigabyte/asus

I have to disagree. I don't like windforce cards but they are really quiet, especially compared to the XFX. Yes ASUS could have issues too. Mine is a 280x Matrix and oh boy it needs a solid cooler.500x1000px-LL-3b4fa163_Picture617.jpeg

EVGA seems like a good aftermarket brand for most cards :)
