That GTX 950 is unbelievable for the price, I'd definitely go for that. Much better than the 660 and not far behind the 960.

Microsoft are still offering free upgrades to Windows 10 at the moment but technically that could stop at any time so it isn't guaranteed. I'd risk it though, that's a cheap OS and Windows 8.1 is pretty good anyway.

EDIT: I wouldn't change the PSU, more power than you really need but no harm in that. It is great quality too.

From the choices, the gtx 960 performs a bit better than gtx 950, but since gtx 950 is below 100, it's good to go with that.

Your listed PSU is good, no changes needed.

If you're going for card with 2gb vram would go with 950 personally, it isn't THAT far behind a 960 and if you only want low to medum will do that no problem, probably a bit more, but if you don't mind spending extra cash then 960 is better, but not by a great deal unless you get a SSC one.

I can run Fallout 4 at ultra high on my system and a GTX 680 isn't that much better than a GTX 950. I think you'll probably get high settings.

This give you a rough guide on comparing Nvidia GPU's.
