I am building a gaming PC for games such as Minecraft, Sims, Saints Row, GTA, Garrys Mod etc. The Nvidia card is a lot cheaper than the AMD card but I am not sure at all. Which should I choose?

The GT 640 performs similar to the 6670 while priced closer to the 7750 and using more power also

The 7790 is as powerful as the GTX 560 from 2011 and is about 2.5 times quicker than the 640 which performs like an 8800 GT from 2006-7

If you can find a 2GB 650 Ti Boost or a 7850 at around the same price then definitely go for those instead

Why the GT 640 hate ? I know the HD 7790 is better , but the GT 640 just by looking at its specifications, is ok. The GT 640 has similar performance to the HD 7750, but usually the GT 640 is more expensive, so the HD 7750 would be a better deal.
