out-performs 960 for only a little more. Just over £200 will get you an R9 290 though, a nice jump in performance.

290x will significantly out-perform GTX 960. Case is mATX so you'll need an mATX or smaller mobo. If you need an ATX case;

As long as an mATX case is going to be compatible with your mobo. You'll need to use a molex to 6-pin to power this GPU though.
