R7 370 or GTX 960?

[cesa210]

Hi everybody, i need help with a simple but "important" question:

Is the 370 good for me, or the 960 just kick his poor ass?

Now before you all say that the 960 is better, because is true is better, please listen to my situation.

Curent PC:
- FX 6300 ~4.2 GHZ
- Win 7/ Debian Jessie
- HD 7770
- PSU ~800w
- Custom open back headphones(no noise isolation).

Bullet points:

Specs.

• 
  ■ I don't care about brands, unless is a very poopy brand.
  ■ I don't care, like at all, about 4k not even on movies.
  ■ I care, like a alot, about power consumption and noise.
  ■ It needs to last, long term is very important.

Gaming.

• 
  ■I don't play any new AAA titles from 2012 ahead, they are boring and unspiring, so all my big budget games are pre GTA V(wich is a nice game).
  ■ I may play Fallout 4 if my current pc can handle it, lots of modding.
  ■ I can play on 30 fps without any problem, unless is a fps or racing game.
  ■ I don't have a PS4, Xbox ONE or any console, maybe next Xmas.

Else.

• 
  ■ I may get a proyector, maybe next next Xmas.
  ■ I don't use a multimonitor setting.
  ■ I may use a multimonitor setting (just 2), not for gaming but for work (programing, absolutly zero video editing), maybe next next next Xmas.

About another cards.
I already check this dilema the 950 is not good, the 360 is not good, the 750 ti is not good and finally the 380 is not good. Why?

- The 950 is almost as expesive as the 960 (the models that are not poop).
- The 360 and 750 are just a little better than my current card.
- The 380 is a ~200w beast that doesn't care about ecology or economy, my economy to be exact.


Well that was a long post for a tiny question, anyway i hope you give me some nice suggestions and tahnk you for your time.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487133 960 is better, 370 has higher bandwidth but the 960 still pulls ahead! the card i linked may be short but for the value and its superclocked AANNND 4gb. Its a steal! ALSO! the 960 draws 25 watts less than a 370

Since you have interest in fallout 4 then 960.

I would recommend the 380 over the 960. The extra power consumption will not make an impact financially.

I Second that 380 over 960 any day. but 960 has lower power consumption.That why i prefer it more but 380 for better performance.

If you want Raw performance, go with the 380. If power consumption is a big no no for you, go with the 960. Both excellent cards.

i guess that the 960 is the best choice.
