Hey! I am going to buy a graphics card to my new PC build, and i have a budget. I am going to play mostly Fifa 15, Minecraft and maybe some Sims 4. And i wonder what graphics card i should get?
-Nvidia or AMD?
-Cheap or expensive?
-GTX or GT?

I am looking to spend 100-110 dollars on my graphics card.

It's not a bad card for the money, but the 270 is a good deal faster, for about the same amount of money (in the US anyway).

Here's a comparison: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130?vs=1080

Just one alternative to consider. The R7 260X is also faster in SOME games, they go back and forth, but is a bit cheaper:

For your money, you'll be happy with any of those 3. The EVGA edition of the 750Ti is a good one, and doesn't require any additional power adapters, which is nice. For either AMD cards, XFX has some of the cheapest prices, but ASUS models are usually a tad faster and quieter. HIS is another brand that's pretty solid internationally.

Not unless you have a very low resolution monitor. The HD 7770 would be better.

Well, the R7 260X is still faster in most games and cheaper in most countries, but we really need to know your monitor's resolution.

Assuming it's 1080p, either card will require a few settings turned down in Sims4/Fifa, and probably not 60FPS.

Minecraft may just need the viewing distance turned down. Check out the OptiFine mod for MineCraft, as it will boost your performance if you have a multi-core CPU.

My monitor is 1080p, and i have desided to go for the 750ti. Do you think that is better?

Well, you saw the benchmark I posted earlier. If you find it worth the money, you should get it. It can handle Metro: Last Light at 31.5 average fps and it's on Tom's most price worthy GPU list.
