Ok. So. First post. I've been reading for a while but its time I grow up and ask questions. I am doing my first legit computer build out (i've just used kits in the past) I already have an intel i5 3570k(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115233) and this motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293).
I am looking into my video card next. I want to stay under or as close to $200 as possible. I think I've narrowed it down to two but now I can't decide.
I'm thinking either an HD 7870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131467 (brand name doesn't mean as much to me so help me out if I choose poorly.)
Or an NVIDIA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130825
As far as I can tell they are very similar and I don't know enough to decide.
On a side note, for what its worth if I buy soon the GTX 660 comes with assassin's creed 3 and the HD 7870 comes with far cry 3 (I am more excited about assassin's creed but I don't want the freebie to be what sways me. I want the best card for the money.)
Thanks to all who comment and I apologize is I said anything stupid. I'm still new to this higher end PC building stuff.
