What is the difference between these graphics card, and which is better/ do you suggest?

[L42cf]

Both of these cards seem similar, but I don't know which is better.

This one has 2gb more memory, and has a core clock speed of 1.05ghz (is that good, I dont know if it is myself).

This one is more expensive, has less memory, and doesn't show the clock speed.

Even so, I don't know by just seeing the numbers (as I may be misinterpreting them). So, which one is better than the other for me to pick from?

And this is a good graphics card for the price as well, right?

Personally, I would just pick the first option (4gb). Something that I have noticed through the years, is that you cannot look at the specifications and I would go somewhere (like a video) that would explain everything about the card and it's performance. Thought if you search around, you may be able to find the 2gb for cheaper but if you are looking to "future proof", I would go with the 4gb

The graphics card is definitely a good one and I think that you would make a good decision going with this one.
I hoped that I help you make up for decision.

Yea I'm thinking of getting the 4gb one, however I have no clue what motherboard to get. I'm thinking of a AMD FX-8350 CPU, but I suck at motherboards. Can anyone help me there?

 

[CoolVengeance]

I believe that this motherboard will do the trick

it has gotten some decent reviews and you can't really go with msi

Well here is my current build. It is a work in progress, and nothing there besides the monitor and os, are really final. Any suggestions?

I definitely think that you will be happy with that build unless you want to go in a whole new way with a Nvidia and Intel build which is what I prefer. With the current build, you will be able to handle anything that comes your way(game wise that is).

Well I am not a fan boy, so I have no real preference for cpus, but I've had intels, and wanted to see how an amd may work out. That and amd's are more budget friendly, and I'd like to cut costs wherever possible.

Amd has a lot of power for what it is worth and 8 cores for that cheap is just mentally mind-blowing ....lol

Yea I've seen some tests and benchmarks and it seems good overall, just need a good fan for it.

Why, is that actually a good fan for this situation? I just saw it on another build, and hoped it was a good one ;-;

It is by far the most chosen cooler in mid-low price range, meaning: for no or moderate overclocking on a normal desktop system. Best pick.
