It's my first time building a rig (also first time with windows), and I'm having trouble deciding between two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 260X
and
GeForce GTX 750
I'm looking to game/stream/edit videos and music, and I'm wondering which one is better. Also, if there is a site that I can directly compare their features (I've been having a lot of trouble finding one), I'd appreciate a link. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JTGNBm is an example of what I'm thinking for my rig. Any advice (general or specific) on that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

I would go with a 750 Ti. It will beat the 260X in most games while using less power and producing less heat. If you want to spend a bit more, go with something like a r9 270.

Also, I would change that PSU to an EVGA B1. The CX series isn't very high quality and isn't recommended.

The last article posted on tomshardware is... best GPU's for the money.

Perhaps that would help.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car... (I prefer this page as it lists new vs older cards in tiers so you can easily compare what you have now to the proposed new cards and see if it is worth it, or if a used XXX at the same $ can do even better)

You've all been very helpful so far. I do have another question, though. If I lower the RAM to 4GB I could get a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
would this cause any noticeable issues, or would the GeForce GTX 750 Ti be better with 8GB RAM? Also, would 4GB RAM be much of a downgrade with the GeForce GTX 750 Ti ? (looking to save a little money).
