I'm building an under 600$ gaming computer (which will also be used for photoshop and sony vegas as well as MX Simulator) and pretty much have all my hardware decided except my gpu.
My monitor is 1280x1024, and I will be using an AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 965 Deneb on an ASROCK 970 Extreme3 and this will all be on Windows 7 64 bit. I just would like the opinions of you guys on which of the two would have better performance, reliability, and run cooler. Here's the links to the specific ones:

edit: Wow, I'm not even sure if the Radeon will work with my mobo (it's PCI express 2.0 while the Radeon is PCI Express 2.1)
