Mine card:

Can get:

Got buyer for my card on one hand, and the seller of the second card on the other. It'd cost me arround 50$ to do the change. Worth going for? Will the difference be noticeable in the games? I am playing in 1080p and not planning any upgrade of the monitor in the nearest future.

The card is working with i5 4460 and RM650 PSU from Corsair.

Please advice ASAP as both deals are hot.

PS. I know that the most reasonable would be go for 1060 (6GB) or 1070, but this is not the case at the moment, as both are still too expensive.

As long as the 970 is in good condition then go for it.

I would suggest the selling your 960 and then saving for the 1060 or 1070. If you have a good price to sell yours for, because... it's only going to decrease in value.. same goes for the 970.. look at the gaming chart differences with all those cards... ask yourself.. where do you want your performance to be when all is said and done?

Looks like new :) Still 17 months of warranty (My 960 has 3 months more).

I assume that GTX 1060 6GB would be the lowest reasonable model. And there is still to much difference in the price between 960 and 1060. (more than 150$ I'd need to add to change 960 for 1060).
