I'd say a an ok deal if you absolutely are looking to use a 280-350W OEM PSU. If working with a decent >350W PSU the R7 360 will get you the same entry gaming.
When you use gpuboss to get your info, we know you're Lost...
Even with reviews it not always clear/factual, as they'll use some OC i7 and run Ultra settings. The real info is AMD had the GTX750Ti in it sights when it release the R7 360, and at that point develop it to be competition on performance and price. Sure if you play BF4 (but who does) Nvidia has a jump as of late, where a R7 360 has 37-38 FpS, a GTX 750 Ti is perhaps 43-44 FpS. However if on a more pedestrian build CPU and juggle settings of the 750Ti for a playable 40-50 FpS Avg. @1080p, then use the same for the 360 many of those titles they'll spar back and forth by just a couple FpS.
I'd go with the GTX750TI because of the lower power and thermal requirements, though it's unfortunately one generation older than needed to have HDMI2, or at least DP like many 360's do, so for 4K support the 360 wins, but many people with OEM systems would need a new PSU which significantly increases the total cost.
The other thing I like about the GTX750TI is that it's more appropriate to reuse for non-gaming or light gaming use in another system after your next upgrade to something newer, or to keep in same system to support more monitors as it is really low power consumption at idle/2D-uses, a mere 9W driving 3 monitors.
^ As to power it's not that far out of the realm. Being a Bonaire from Oct '13 or the a GM107 Feb '14 when you look Hardwarelux power numbers it's not that far off. Basically coming down to MSI R7 360 OC at idle, 10W more than a reference GTX 750 Ti. but with AMD you get ZeroCore. Under load, the difference they say in the one test point was 15-20W (6%).
Here's video review from Nov 12, 2015 (just prior to Crimson release), and they come up darn close for using the Asus STRIX 750Ti in power and temps. This Gigabyte 750ti above (of the deal) isn't in the same league as a STRIX, while the XFX 360 I indicated is more of a card than the Gigabyte used in the video as it has the common extruded aluminum heat sink. Given Crimson just weeks later brought up FC4, GTA V, and Project Cars they are so super identical.

Here's an XFX 360 2GB Core Edition same $20 rebate for $80 w/FS it has an actual dual Heat-Pipe cooler not the simple aluminum extrusion.

Even in battlefield 4 testing I remember the 750 TI performing way better than the 360. even though BF4 was built on amd platform.

Even though this was done Jan '16 they didn't use Crimson just the Catalyst 15.7.1. And the games used are crazy strenuous for an "entry gaming card" so hard to glean much from this.

Here Digital Foundry does a nice job back from Aug '15, but even then some of there setting drop the FsP to low for me.
