I bought a R7 370 4 GB about two weeks ago, only to realize there were better cards at an similar price. I was wondering if I should just stick with this card, or try to sell it (dunno about returning it to newegg because I already sent the rebate) and get a GTX 950 or like. Is this card I have futureproof enough to run new games at an acceptable fps?

It's not a bad card, just doesn't lead at it's price range for price/performance. I wouldn't suggest selling it at this point and getting a 950 isn't a good idea either. There are new cards coming out soon and so the performance of all pricing tiers is going to change. If you want to upgrade, I suggest to wait until you can choose from the new cards. Yes, you probably will get less for your current card, but the potential performance increase at your price point is significant.

Unless the card is not suiting your needs, just stick with it. As for "future proofing", there is no such thing, just use the card until it doesn't perform as you want/need.
