So, in July of 2016, I decided to buy the MSI GTX 960 100 ME 2 GB for $270 after tax. I'm starting to think I shouldn't have bought it and just stuck with my old GTX 750 because now just browsing through online retailers I'm seeing the much higher value that comes out of the GTX 1060. So anyways, do you all think I made a bad investment in a GTX 960 last year for $270?
Was it a bad idea to buy the GTX 960 last year?

With all due respect, I don't know what you would want us to say. If we say "yes" - you're stuck with a bad investment card and feel terrible. If we say "No", you will likely still think you made a bad investment otherwise I don't think you'd be asking.
In my personal opinion, the 960 is still a great card. So the important thing is if YOU are happy with the performance you get from your set-up, then no it wasn't a bad investment. And ultimately, technology (especially GPU) is transitioning rapidly day by day, EVERY card by all accounts is a bad investment. The GTX 1060 now will be a bad investment to someone in 12 months no doubt. and by that logic, if everything is a bad investment, effectively nothing is.
If you are happy with your performance, no, it wasn't a bad invesment at all.

The money is spent, so judging the investment is not useful.
Does it meet your requirements? If it does not, you need a new card. If it does, then you have the luxury of waiting before you get something different.
