I managed to get 2 7850s 1gb ddr5 for about 100usd was that worth it or a good deal. I cant run in sli because i use an itx. But is it better than what ive got currently. Im building several computers so thats why i snaged them but ive been hesitant on swaping the 650 for it.

Yes it does. The r7850 is on par with gtx 650 ti BOOST editon. While gtx 650 ti is on par with r7790. Amd provide more features, while nvidia provide better software optimization. r7850 will marginally better(except it's power consumption thats higher than the nvidia one)

Oh forgot to mention, how much your nvidia card vram? If it has 2gigs of vram, i personally stick with nvidia. The amd is way stronger but lack of vram, that modern games need at least 2gb of vram(unless you just play on 720p, go take the 7850).
Hd 7850 is way better than gtx 650. It's on par with 650ti boost edition. I would pick the 7850 as you can get decent graphics card at decent prices(as you can have 2 of them for about 100USD lol.
