If you could stretch out to a GTX-970 - probably the best bang for buck Nvidia GPU - you'll be able to get max settings on pretty much all games on 1080p, including GTA V. I would get a GTX-970 if I could. If budget is really an issue I'd even consider downgrading the CPU to an i5-6600k, a great gaming CPU, it won't bottleneck your rig and plump the difference onto the GTX-970 instead...worth looking into

What kind of games would you want to play? What type of Graphical preference would you want your PC to play smoothly at?
I cannot guarantee you to have the best performance with the 960 if you'd want to play at practically maxed out Graphical options in newere games e.g. GTA V, Dark Souls 3 etc
The build itself looks good honestly but I wouldn't build it like that, what is your budget?
Also with the rendering, the 6700k is a good choice for rendering :)

I second that build, looks good to me though I would be careful with the 430W PSU - it leaves very little scope for expansion. I'm assuming the OP may have optical drives, keyboards, wifi adapters and other small add-ons. Also if you have a 6700K it leaves room for overclocking.

So the build looks good, but I'd be a bit uncomfortable with just a 430W PSU with a CPU and GPU I may want to overclock
