780 is vastly superior, go with that if its in working order. I would replace the thermal compound on it with something like arctic silver as there is a fair chance it may have dried out. I had a 780 and replaced the TIM after 2.5 yrs

That is a pretty good price for a 780 as long as it works.

Meh some build specs...

Both of those are pretty good deals, but the 780 is a considerably better value if your PSU can handle it. The 960 is still a decent deal at $100 if your PSU isn't up to the 780, but you'd have to try and knock the 960 guy down to $85-90 for it to really be a great deal.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

 

Hypnotoad's RAM is dying, his motherboard is acting like the 6-year-old AsRock it is, a couple of SATA ports have just stopped working, but the RGB remains. The RGB always remains. Hypnotoad lives. All glory to the Hypnotoad.

get the 960, it may not have the raw clock speed as the 780 but it's newer and will have better driver support, and I would only get 960 if its the 4GB model, for another 40$ you can get a 1050ti with warnty, brand new. raw power doesn't always win the fps war. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487290&cm_re=1050ti-_-14-487-290-_-Product
