I heard that the GTX 750SC is better but where it has only 1GB-VRAM that it sucks and will not be able to handle any games like Far Cry 4 and any good game without 2GB. It will be used on a 720P monitor also.

Both are good cards for the price. I'd still get the 2GB card since it's only $10 bucks more. Plus your r7 260X will have more life and longevity with the extra GB of vram.

Ok thanks its for my little brother. My build is in the description hes 9 years old and is "VERY" smart for his age and has helped me build mine at times to and iw as wanting to turn his PC into a machine that can atleast "PLAY" every game out at low, 30FPS, at 720p thats all he asks for just a "Playable" experience. And Will the GTX 750 be the right card for him and his crappy cpu is an Pentium G2020 so i hope to god thats ok for what we want to do with his build. Remember guys as long as its 30FPS at any settings hes happy :)

Dude the reality is that if he want`s just that little bit of an edge I would say the 750ti will be the better option...
 


GTX 750 ti is good, however you could get a r9 270 for the same price. The R7 260X 2GB model I think would be perfect since it's cheaper and should max nearly all games out at 720P.

Thanks man! :) but will his crappy Pentium G2020 be able to run games on low atleast on 720p at 30FPS? I heard a duel core cannot run any game.
 


LOL. Well you heard wrong. Pentiums are still pretty powerful processors, they can whip any of the amd quad cores in most games.

BTW... That r7 260X is also designed for 1080P, so you should get 720P ultra 60fps.

Yay thats good! My brother asked me to get him an MSI R9-290 and im like, yea let me just go out and start cooking meth lol. I see that you got the i5-4690 aswell,, pretty bad ass CPU isnt it? I love mine and had to change the Stock CPU cooler and i am not even overclockiong lol and it stayed idle 50 degrees. So i bought a Cooler Master seidon 120m watercooler put a Noctua NF-F12 iPPC as the push fan and a Corsair High performance as the pull fan and some Arctic silver 5 paste and it stays 23-30 degrees idle and does not go over 50 degrees at full load lol. I got my MSI R9-290 for $210 with 3 free games, $30 rebate, adn a Free MSI Headset so keep a look out on the R9-290 man you may not like AMD but sometimes on newegg it can be seen at $190 for am R9-290!!! So thats a deal right there for that kind of cash. I also managed to overclock my GPU to 1250MHz Core Clock and 1500MHz Memory Clock so is that good? Its my first overclock
