Hello, i bought a new motherboard, the Gigabyte B85M-D3H and i see that it only supports crossfire which ruins my planes to put in 2 960 cards. My question is should i just buy one good Nvidia card or buy 2 decent AMD cards and crossfire them? Here are the specs for the computer.

CPU: i5-4690k Factory Settings
RAM: 16GB HyperX 1600mhz
Cooler: Seidon 120M
Graphics: Radeon HD 6450 1GB Low Profile

If you plan on putting another nvidia card in your system in the future go with nvidia, however crossfiring two cards usually will give better performance depending on how the cards match up. It's hard for a single card to outperform two cards no matter how good it is.

I see your point Gara. Do you have any cards in mind that i could use for crossfire? I have a budget of about $80 per card.
 

I don't know of any cards that would be good enough for gaming for that price. I'd recommend getting this card instead. I have the same card just a step up, the r9 280, and I've been maxing out all of my games. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100365l
 


i could get that card, i mean i get 1200 a week. the reason for low budget is well, bills... thank you for your time! :)
