Im gonna build a new rig and im just wondering if this graphics card is better then my other rigs graphics card. Iv done a little research but im still not sure as to which is betterin terms of gaming. Could you tell me which one is better and if the 650 Ti SSC 2GB would be worth it? Im running an i5, 8gigs ram.

650 ti is slightly the better card
If you already got 6850 then you need atleast a or HD7850 or GTX 560 Ti or even a GTx 660 to call this a worthy upgrade.
This following chart will help you lot.

That link has a 6850 and regular 650ti in it and they are practically the same. Assuming they're a similar price, get the 650ti as with the factory oc and newer tech it'll be a bit faster and more efficient than the 6850. The 2gb vram would be nice too

If I were you I would take a look at the new GTX 650ti BOOST edition. It is MUCH, MUCH more powerful than the non-boost edition, for similar price. Here, this is the Superclock version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130910

Take a look at this pic, the standard 650ti BOOST gets a full 10 FPS more in Far Cry 3 than the standard 650ti. Also, take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho0TnSZ2HW8
