Trying to decide between the HD 7750-7790 or the GTX 550-650 graphics cards cause theyre within my price range ($100-210) below are links to the parts im planning to use.

Steve Z :

For the FX-6300, I'd recommend you actually go for either the Radeon HD 7850 or the GTX 660. Both are still within your price range and they're more powerful than your previous suggestions. The benefits of the 660 are PhysX but I believe that the 7850 can be cheaper. Also, I have no idea where PC Partpicker is getting you the FX-6300 because it should only cost $120 from Newegg:

hmm you might need to remove the fan on the side panel of the case in order to fit that cooler, but other than that looks like you're good to go bro.

[edit] deus bro, hes from new zealand. you know that place next to australia. lol

In fact, the Hyper 212 Evo is only $40 on Newegg as well. What's going on with PC Partpicker?

OH! Sorry haha I didn't see the url. My bad.

As for the selection then, your 7750 and the GTX 550 are clearly weaker then the 7790 or the 650. If you go for the 650, I know it has better SLI support than the 550 so it's more future proof, so I'd say because it's weaker and less future proof you should eliminate it. The 7790 I think performs better than a stock 650, but AMD has issues with CrossFire in general, so I'm not quite sure when it'll be fixed even though they're working on drivers to fix crossfire stuttering as we speak. So I'd say the 7790 is the better buy overall since it's notably more powerful and they'll probably resolve CrossFire (if that's even a concern for you) soon enough.

Ok thanks so i guess the 7790 will be better than the 550 Ti and 650 ti versions aswell?

yeah only the 650 ti BOOST is faster but its also more expensive. but i think you can get a 7850 with that money.
