Comments or Suggestion on this build?
Intel Core i5-6500, EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada

i5-6500 ($270)
MSI Z170A SLI Plus ($170)
2x8GB DDR4 ($85)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD ($120)
EVGA GTX 750 Ti ($150)
Fractal Design Define R5 ($125)
Total = $920

I have a spare 500w PSU at home.
Going to install window 10.

I am not sure if I should upgrade the vid card to a GTX 960 ($100 more).
All the games I play now are old and I can probably max out with the GTX 750 ti. (CS, SC2, L4D)

I wouldn't mind paying more now if the GTX960 can last a long time. (3-4yrs+) But I read some ppl suggest GTX 960 is in a bad spot because it is kinda stuck in the middle. (too much power for 1080p, not enough for 1440p, which is the resolution a lot of games are going toward?)
