I will be using an HDTV 1080p (120Hz if I can find a deal) and will be doing mostly streaming, with some gaming [currently have nothing for PC games so I will most likely start off with older/cheaper games] and plan on upgrades in the future ie: better psu + cpu cooler for OC, slap a couple more sticks of DDR3, upgrade video card when needed, etc.
My question is: how obsolete is the gtx750? I don't need anything heavy right now but i will in the future, so should i just drop the extra $100 and get a decent card now or will the gtx750 hold me over for 1-2 more years? also i heard that nvidia works better with amd cpus than radeon. this seems a little strange to me, but this is my first build so i am still learning.
