Question Need HELP deciding on budget GPU!

[phatmule]

Hello everyone! Im pretty new to pc building, I just finished my own 400$ budget gaming pc from a pc build on this forums. Im super happy about how it turned out. However, I'm also supposed to help a friend choose a very cheap pc. He only has around a 250$ budget. I found a 30$ radeon 560 2gb and a 35$ gtx 770 2gb. Im aware that the 770 is from 2013 and super old but I still don't know which one will be better. i have ordered a 600watt 80+ white b-stock evga PSU for his build as well. He plans on using it just to play Fortnite/minecraft. Which GPU should I buy and why?

The 770 would be faster. You'll get no love for the 600W 80+ white here. It might be worth it to get the 560 and the lower power draw. The difference in price is $5, though the 770 is the better performing card.

Especially not a b stock unit.

What is the exact model?

I would suggest the 770 as it performs better, but your psu is of low quality and may be better suited to the 560.
It should work with the 770, but it may not be reliable.

I have a bit more love for the B 80+ white units than most. But it's not a PSU I'd get. 80+ bronze minimum in this day and age. 80+ gold for most rigs. The White's aren't a fire starter PSU, but they don't really have any business being in a gaming rig.

I was actually skeptical about getting a 80+ white psu at first, but a popular pc build youtuber says its both reliable and cheap for budget gaming. Since the psu might not hold up, should i get the 770 and try to sell it for a little more? and maybe get a 560 4gb or 570? People from discord/reddit says the 35$ offer is a steal.

Sell it? I thought you were helping a friend build something? Wattage wise the 770 will fit. But the white has a lot of really lower end parts in it. It will work for awhile, but eventually something will give way. It's just a matter of time.

The issue with youtube videos is they tend to spin the truth to get their content out.
What content could they make in terms of these ultra low budget builds if the quality of the components was fully obvious.

Sorry i was a little unclear. I meant to first get the 770. and then maybe list that for a higher price around 60-70 bucks so we can get a radeon 570.
