Hello... I'm new to PC gaming and I am stuck between the following 2 cards. By doing some research I am down to these two cards for my budget of $150ish. Thanks in advance.

I like the Sappire a little better than the Asus but either one is pretty good.

Its really all preference but I'd recommend you get a sapphire 7850.

They are the exact same GPU. Get the one with the better and quieter cooler and better warranty. ((Edit) get the Sapphire because it's cheaper.
