Hello guys hope everything is going great
Last time I asked a bunch of questions on the forum for building a studio computer, and now I'm thinking about building a light-gaming computer for my home.
I did a bunch of research and decided what to buy except for the video card.
For the video card, the more research I did, the more questions I ended up with :/ I'm hoping you guys can answer them.
First, what exactly is a memory bandwidth(interface)? is there a huge difference between 128 bit and 256 bit?
And what is the difference between the same GPU but sold from a different manufacturer other than the slightly different factory overclocked core clock speed? I've heard that the coolers were somewhat distinguishable with each manufacturer but does that make that much of a difference?
Finally, from my googling and researching I landed on two video cards that got my interest (these are my researches so please keep in mind that I have very little knowledge on video cards and only relied on the specs I got from the manufacturer's website and some benchmarks on youtube).
AMD Radeon R7 370 (4GB)

Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti (2GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487024&cm_re=geforce_750_ti-_-14-487-024-_-Product
Are these cards worth my money?
If I were to buy one of these two, which one should I get? Is the $50 worth it to spend on the 370 over 750 Ti?
Benchmarks on youtube and all the websites out there gives me mixed opinions so I wanted to ask you guys for a discussion.
I know these are a lot of questions, I really appreciate you guys for helping me out. Thanks in advance
