The 290 I know is a lot more and probably better but will the gtx 960 be able to play modern titles at 1080p
Sacrificing the 290 for 960 will give me about $100 extra dollars for other ssd or processor upgrades

What is your current build? That way I know if anything else needs upgrades.

The 960 is $200, the 290 is $250. The 290 is significantly better than the 960 and has twice as much vram. Putting that $50 into a better cpu will just decrease your performance.
this does depend on what your cpu is because it may be better to get a 280x and upgrade the cpu. We need to see your build.
