I'm making a new lightweight gaming and web browsing build and need some help picking the right GPU I'm using a AMD Athalon X4 860K processor and a MSI A88XI AC Mini ITX board. My options are a XFX radeon r9 285 2gb 256 bit gpu, a Asus R7 370 gaming 4gb 256 bit card. And a Asus strix GeForce GTX 960 2gb 128 bit card.

r7 370 has 4gb vram which can help...the texture rate and memory speed of the 960 are better but overall the 370 will be 25-30% increase in performance over the 960..... the r9 285 however is another 25% improvement over the 370 even without the extra 2gb vram.

id say the 285 is the clear winner....if you have access to an r9 290 it will be 100% increase over the r7 370 and there are some 290's that are under 10.5" length making them suitable for an itx build
