Ok I know this might be crazy, but I was doing some exploring on different video cards and I came across the NVS 295 256MB card. Well my original idea for my build was going to be the Radeon HD 7770 1GB card. I'm not sure, but I read that the NVS 295 was about the same on benchmarks as the Radeon HD 5770, and the 5770 comes close to 7770 on benchmarks. I'm still pretty new to figuring out benchmarks and stuff and I just wanted to know if the NVS 295 is about the same or better or worse than the Radeon HD 7770.

LoLs a NVS295, its been years since the last time that I used one of those and that was back in 2007. Trust me that card isn't for modern games unless you are only going to be doing very old games or fly by mode in arc map(GIS software).

Quadro cards are for professional workstations and business end things my friend, it will not do you any good in any games. So the Radeon HD 7770 beats in in games at least.

Oh okay, I'm new to the world of computers, I've always bought one at a store and knew nothing. Thanks everyone, it helps a lot! I'll check the price of the gtx 295, hopefully it wont change the price of this computer too much, I finally got my whole build under $900! Its hard especially when you're building off ivy bridge and a z77 board.

Okay so the gtx 295 is unavailable.. Is there any card better then the Radeon HD 7770 for about the same price of this one?
