Hello !
I'm looking for a new card for my build . ( msi gaming 5 and intel i5 4690k)
I was gonna get the MSI gtx 960 2GB for £153

https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-NVIDIA-960-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B00SKTY6PS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469651815&sr=8-1&keywords=msi+gtx+960

but ... then I came across the Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 380 Nitro 4 GB which is even cheaper at £137 and has 4gb memory + 256 bit memory bus

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Radeon-Nitro-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B016EY8JMG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469651361&sr=8-1&keywords=r9+380

Which one would you think is better ?
 
Solution
My last several cards have been Nvidia but I would go with the 380. It's slightly faster than the 960 and I wouldn't buy a 2GB GPU in 2016. Plus you said it was cheaper. There really is no downside.
You're looking at at almost no practical difference, although the 380 seems to be a step higher on the ladder from the 960 (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html)

I would go with the 960, because I know and trust Nvidia more than AMD, but it's up to you.
