I'm trying to make my money worth spending, I have a as rock 990 fx extreme 3 motherboard and it is compatible for crossfire and SLi , that's cool cuz I have the option to add 1 or 2 more video card on it in the future, but for now I have a 150 to 200 bucks budget for a card , and now I'm kinda confused what card to get, nvidia or amd? Graphics card is the second n my shopping list , help me guys pls :) , and any way this is gonna be my first build,

The answer is yes. Either one will do well. 660 GTX or a R9 270.
