R9 380 Nitro or GTX 960 4GB Windforce

[Hector OC]

So i built a pc recently, but i left the GPUs for the next month, so i can afford one, the thing is, in my country (Mexico) the GPUs are more expensive than they should be because of taxes.
R9 380 Nitro= $245.5 aprox
GTX 960 WF= $239.3 aprox
The other choice is the R9 380 Dual X, its cheaper ($219)
What im worried about is the power consumption and heat, is the little bit of extra performance, extra heat, and extra power consumption worth it?
CPU: i5 4460 (stock cooler)
PSU: CX500M

if you have no brand preference then just take that Dual X one? 960 competes more with 285 actually. when AMD rebrand 285 into 380 they push the clock higher to make it faster than 960 by default.

The 380 doesn't run any hotter than the 960.
It uses 40-50w more - irrelevant because your PSU is strong enough anyway.
