Hello fellow Brethren! :hello:

I'm confused which one to buy between the two of these gpus:

GTX 750 Ti 2GB FTW
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487028

or

Radeon R7 265 2GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202096

I would probably gaming at 1920x1080 p Games like BF4, LoL, Dota 2, DayZ, etc..

For me the GTX 750 ti FTW is the best choice because of its power consumption. I need an expert's answer please? :) or anyone who has experience between the two of these. And which of these cards will have greater performance when overclocked? Also If the GTX 750 ti FTW is better, Will a 430w psu be enough?

Here is the build I will be buying/building (Really tight Budget $500-550)

AMD FX 6300
Asus M5A78L
HyperX 8GB Kit (2x4GB) CL9
Corsair Builder Series CX 430 w or 500w
(Already have a hdd)
Any recommendation for a case? (cheap one but okay 😀)
Are these specs enough to play the games that I listed? and Are these specs okay? I mean is the motherboard okay or the cpu or maybe I should put my money in the gpu?
Thank You Very much. Who ever will answer 😀


P.S Sorry for my bad English

The two cards will perform almost identically. I would probably go with the 750 as it draws less power and runs cooler and does not need a pci-e power connector; it draws all its power from the PCI-E slot.
For your build everything looks good; you mention spending a little more on the GPU and that would be good, but the next step up is a lot more $$$ and will not give you a large improvement in games.
An M5A97 mother board would be an improvement, but again might not be worth the extra cost.
You will be able to play your games, but probably not at their highest settings.

Thanks for the answer! :) Couldn't find a R7 265 always out of stock. And I'm thinking of putting my money on the gpu. Would a AMD Athlon x4 750k and a R9 270x handle bf4,mp,64 players? 😀
 


Stick with the original build with the 750Ti video card. That x4 athlon would be step backwards; the fx6300 is an excellent 6 core cpu. Stepping up to the 270X will also require a bigger (600watt with 2 6pin PCI-E connectors, minimum). With the 750Ti, you will be able to play bf4, but not at high or highest settings.
 


Okay, I'll definitely go with the AMD Fx 6300 and a 750 ti. Maybe I'll save or wait for the prices to go down and stretch for the 270x. Thank you very much! ^^ You really helped me a lot! :ouimaitre:
