Hey guys, I need help in choosing between these two entry level GPUs:

I'm trying to decide whether I should get:

the Sapphire R7 260X OC DDR5 2GB or

Or Palit Geforce GTX 750 StormX 2 GB
http://dynaquestpc.com/product/palit-geforce-gtx-750-stormx-2gb-gddr5-128bit/

(For your reference, exchange rate is 45 PHP to 1 USD. I have around 6000 PHP or 135 USD to spend. The prices listed on the website I posted are the cheapest for the items in where I live (Philippines))



These two are what my meager budget can afford right now. I'm aiming to slowly upgrade a very old PC by replacing the parts one by one. I currently have the old AMD A8 3850 (2.9 Ghz quad core) along with 4 GB ddr3 ripjaw RAM running on Windows 7 64 bit. I'm planning to buy one of the two graphics cards now, get a 8 GB ripjaw ram card in a month or so and eventually purchase an i5 processor next year when I've sufficiently earned enough money. I currently play World of Tanks, Company of Heroes 1 and 2, League of Legends, Battlefield 3 and am planning to play Crysis, Farcry, Starcraft 2 and Metro 2033 Last Light soon. Thanks for the help!

The difference is not huge but its worth the extra money.

Try to get at a gtx 750 ti its 10$ more than your budget. http://dynaquestpc.com/product/zotac-geforce-gtx-750-ti-2gb/
 


In my link above you can see there is about avg 14% performance difference in favor of the 750Ti. You will have to make the decision whether to exceed your original budget.
