Help! Need some advice on a new rig

[Bunglejuice]

Ok I have most of the component down that I want for my new build. I'm still undecided about a video card.I guess what I'm looking for hd 1080p gaming with a budget of 200 to 250 range. Here are a couple that I have been looking at.

GTX 560 ti. Or. HD 7850

Any suggestion on a video card for the typ of play Above and the price range. Also what brand

Thanks

Both these cards will smash the frame rates out on a 1080p monitor dude. I'm reading good things on the 7850 as long as the price is close to the 560ti, I would go for the 7850. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/201...-hd-7850-2gb/7

I do agree with the HD for most games but if you are focusing on this one as your main. Go with an nvidia based card. Nothing in stone but from what i have researched so far between the fact they seem to be testing this system mostly on intel and nivida and are using the PhysicsX. I believe Nivida is going to end up being less of a problem in the long run. Not to say ATI wont work, just my personal thoughts on the matter.

As for where to buy i did a ton of research and ended up finding http://www.extreme-pc.ca being canadian and all. They do and will ship to the states though if you ever want to give the site a look.

Yes Planetside 2 will use physX but you can't really use that for a reason to buy Nvidia as you will be playing other games most of which don't use physX. PhysX still runs in software mode if you don't have an Nvidia card so just go with the best bang for your buck and something that's a little future proof.
