I am building a new PC. I am on a budget. I plan to do gaming.Which card should I get the gtx 650 or the gtx 7850. They are priced the same. I plan to play mine craft. which card should I get.
The 7850 is much more powerful, however it also takes more power. It can also be overclocked. If they are the same price I would be wary of the brand. XFX double dissipation is known for being horrible.

I personally prefer HIS and ASUS. ASUS makes the DCII that is widely considered the best of the best in open air cooling, but their RMAs take forever. HIS is not quite as cool, but all the HIS cards I own are silent. I have no experience with the RMA, but I suspect they are reasonably long too, as they are Hong Kong based. (I think.)
Thanks. I think I will go with the 7850. Here is the link.

I would't. That is based off the XFX DD. It is ok if you never oevrclock it or run stuff like furmark, but is known for letting the VRM temps go out of control. If you can try this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161406
There is a reason that card is cheap. It is ok for just gaming though.
Just make sure to watch your temp, and don't be afraid to set a custom fan curve. If it is exceeding 85c that isn't good, but it should perform just fine.
Best of luck with the card!
