Hello, can someone tell me the difference with these two cards and which one will be better for this build [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (I am not asking no one to change parts of the build so don't post suggestions)

The two cards are

&

The main difference is the cooler on each card, one card has the blower design cooler and the other doesnt. Out of the two I would choose [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] due to the blower cooler typically running hotter than the other cooler.

I know you said not to recommend anything for your build but honestly, get a SSD in there and a different cooler for that CPU.

I'd would recommend [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , cheap but gets the job done well.

There's also different colour schemes for that cooler as well so you should be able to get one that matches your build.

I wouldn't go with a WD Green drive if you are using it for gaming, I would go with a 1TB WD Blue or a 2TB WD Black.

That's a horrific build. That's definitely not what you should be spending £900 on. Are you even going to use 16GB RAM or the i7? Are you going to overclock?
