The MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G has a lot of overclocking potential. When overclocked the GTX 960 and R9 380 perform more similar than not. If you are wondering which one is more "future proof" both will be able to run DX12 games in Windows 10. The key factor to look at is pricing and the factory overclocks you get out of the box. Take your time, do some research and chose the one that is priced better at the time, and has a high factory overclock. Amazon is listing this currently at $229.99.
