designing system with consumption of 960mA. Would a regulator with rating of 1A be sufficient?

"I'm designing a system with a current consumption of 960mA. The regulator IC I'm considering has a rating of 1A. Would this regulator be sufficient for my system, or should I opt for one with a higher rating?

Your detailed opinions are welcomed

Solution
I recommend using a regulator of 1.2A or 1.5A of current this will be fine.
