I would avoid the gtx 960. Its performance scales quite poorly at higher resolutions.
You can consider and r9 280, which costs around the same.

Only 1600*900. Maxwell will be better.

Aside from lower power consumption, how is the 960 better?

As far as i see it, with a 280 :-
you get equal or better performance,
you have the option of playing at higher resolutions later on,
you get a card that has a longer usable life,
all at the same price.

The 960, even with nvidia's new tessellation algorithms, is too gimped for long term use.
