so i am going to build a pc and being a novice i am looking at following KBMOD's $800 build guide http://kbmod.com/2014/07/pc-build-guide-july-2014/ . i am from the uk so it is around £500 but i am not sure what graphics card to get. i am mostly going to use the pc for gaming, i dont need anything super that can run battlefield 3 on ultra or anything, just medium-high with a smooth frame rate, that is key.
on the guide it says a radeon r9 270x, however i always hear that nvidia card are better. being new i have no experience with either and couldnt tell them apart. another reason i am interested in an nvidia card is for the shield streaming, coming from console the pc gaming experience on a controller style portable format really intrigues me. i am also going to try a 3 monitor setup with this pc so the best card that still roughly fits the £500-£600 build price, performs well and can do things i want would be great if you know any?
also i would like to know the best way to get the parts for a pc. by this i mean at what time should i get them. is buying them all at one time and saving up the full price better or gradually purchasing the components over time better? this is kind of important as it will help me plan it out easier. also in which order should buy the parts?
also feel free to list better rig for around the same price if you know of any. also i would like to know why certain things are better that others for future knowledge.
thank you.
