I am trying to get the best GPU possible for the price; I am on a tight budget and here it is so far; I do not want to go past 600 too much... The build is $480 without the GPU... If you recommend any other GPUs that are good for the money, let me know.

The 950 pretty much makes the 960 irrelevant ... what resolution ? At 1080P on a "bang for the buck basis

The 285 is a bit faster and are usually the same price.... of course it can depend one exactly what games you play so you might want to start here and see what games are most important to you
