The 4GB is a waste on the 960 and has shown to not improve FPS. I would personally go with the 960 myself. But just saying they also have 4GB 380s. Also, at NCIX I saw the EVGA 960 SSC for $175 yesterday, not sure if it still is.

"The MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G did have a few performance benefits over the XFX R9 380 Double Dissipation 4G, including more efficient power consumption. This was the one area that really set the two video cards apart, as they were very much aligned in performance across the board."
"The big question, should you chose NVIDIA GTX 960 4GB or AMD R9 380 4GB? Honestly, they trade blows in performance, one is faster here, and the other is faster there. You will have to look closely at the games you play to differentiate between one or the other. The MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G has a lot of overclocking potential. When overclocked the GTX 960 and R9 380 perform more similar than not. If you are wondering which one is more "future proof" both will be able to run DX12 games in Windows 10. The key factor to look at is pricing and the factory overclock you get out of the box. Take your time, do some research and chose the one that is priced better at the time, and has a high factory overclock."
