Right now, on Newegg, there is a "PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R7 370 AXR7 370 4GB" for $134. Should I get that, or a Gtx 950? I don't fully understand the AMD graphics card lineup at the moment and this card looks sketchy to me for some reason. I have to leave soon, so I will look at the answers when I get home. Thanks!

I actually own a R7 370 exceot mine is MSI's version, and to me the MSI R7 370 4GB is good for the 180 I paid, Im gunna have to say that the Powercolor edition you're looking shoulden't be too far from the same performance. I know the GTX 950 beats the 2GB version of the R7 370, For a little bit extra cash though, id go doe the GTX 960 to get that 4GB of VRAM if you're looking into some mid-high gaming.

to be honest if i were going to buy a card in the $130 price range i would go with the ASUS GeForce GTX 750 Ti  STRIX or the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

The R7 370 or the 950 are way better than the 750ti, there is no point to considere the 750

yes, i was just trying to find good cards in the 130$ price range... but thats why i included the $160 - $170 gtx 950s because they are worth it
