Howdy, I have decent experience in building computers, I'm a college student in the IT field and I'm gunning for my first full build!
I am aiming for this to be a gaming computer, and want to spend under 200 for the graphics card. Unfortunately here at tom's hardware these two have tied!
I'm really torn between the two and figured this is a matter of preference, but just what do you experienced types believe to be the better card?
I can get the Radeon for slightly cheaper (170 after MIR)
as opposed to the GTX (175 after MIR)
The GTX has better scores in benchmarking and Framerates, but from what I've seen looking over forums more often then not people tend to pick Radeon!
Any insight on this would be great!
Thanks in advance!
The rest of my build will go something along the lines of an i5-2400 cpu, I'd like to get a full tower case.. 8gb of ram a SSD and probably a Gigabyte board
I'm almost considering giving in and spending the extra 50-60 buck to get a Radeon 6950..
