So I'm currently saving up some allowance money for a new GFX. But I honestly cannot decide if I should buy myself the GTX 950 XTREME Gaming Edition (2GB) or the EVGA GTX 960 Superclocked (4GB). Are there also gonna be any bottlenecks? This is my system:

AMD Athlon X4 860K overclocked to 4.00GHz

8GB RAM
GTX 750 Ti 

Thanks in advance.

honestly its fine. your fps will always be a little higher when you have got the craziest overkill cpu but its not like the card sits there at 70% load. i would go for a 380 though

R9 380 is what you want. It's 15% faster than a 960. The 860K performs better than an i3 3220. It's solid
