Hi guys,

Noob question here (1st time building a computer). Is there a difference between the two cards besides the manufacturers? In the build I was suggested I was told to buy the EVGA card, but I found the Gigabyte one to be cheaper on the ebay Newegg store with the addition of their flash discount promo code.

Should I just get the Gigabyte one?

Gigabyte: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-DirectX-12-GV-N105TD5-4GD-4GB-128-Bit-GDDR5-PCI-Exp-/291961492765?hash=item43fa42d51d:g:~HgAAOSwux5YQtQZ

EVGA: https://jet.com/product/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1050-Ti-GAMING-04G-P4-6251-KR-4GB-GDDR5-DX12-OSD-Support-PXOC/0503092fb31d429ea1b7df99acedb10b

Each company offers a range of models of the same card, trying to fulfill the needs of different types of customers. That Gigabyte is clocked higher, and it's Gigabytes's one current 1050 Ti with a single fan, so it fills the need of a someone who needs a small card(but not low profile). EVGA cards go from the 'Gaming' model to 'SC' to 'SSC' to 'FTW', least expensive to most expensive.

So I think that Gigabyte is a better deal. EVGA does have a top notch reputation, so if you have a brand preference then you'd probably go with them. That's most likely why EVGA's card was suggested to you.
