What do you guys think of this rig? Not looking for a new build just wondering what kind of games this could run and at certain settings. I know your all going to say "AMD sucks, get an Intel much more stable" but I on a fairly budgeted build and don't fell like I need and Intel processor. Anyways, thank for reading here's the link.

If you can't go over drop the SSD and add one ASAP.

960 isn't shitty. It's a very good card, actually. I use the 960 and I max out all my games. I will agree, though, that the 380x does have some more power. But not a whole lot. you'll do good with either, if you just want to do casual gaming. I play games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, Blops 3, Etc. All max. 50-60FPs.

380x is obviously better than a 960. A 960 is not really worth it for the price as you can get a 380 which will perform a lot better.

PSU is terrible. GPU is over-priced, and out-performed by the cheaper, R9 380. Whether you feel like you "need" and Intel chip or not, is irrelevant. AM3+ does not belong in a $700 rig when you can fit an i5 within budget, easily.

far better. Better SSD, better GPU, and better PSU with XFire support. Cooler is easier to install than 212 EVO, and you can OC a bit if you want.
