Ya your psu is good to run a 960. I would go with the asus or gigabyte.

hi wasim raffat,
As from NVIDIA it shows it require 400watts power..
From MSI 400w
From Gigabyte 400w
According to your budget and proceeding further specifications memory, number of displays it is your choice to select one...
Regards

but can i trust this psu or not ?
and if i choose for better cooling and most quiet which one ?
or i go for Amd R9 280X for more performance ?

As yours is 500w it is enough for your graphic cards previously you mentioned...
see R9 280x review
No problem.. Hope all will be fine..

 

[wasim raffat]

ok thanks . but if it's your choice which one you would prefer and why ?

I would go with the 280x because it outperforms the 960 and also has 50% more vram and 3x the memory bus.

Yes wasim raffat welcome..
I would go for Gigabyte as it suits my budget though MSI is good i wouldnt go for NVIDIA as one of friend got problem with drivers in it..
