Please help. I'm planning on building a $1000 gaming rig and I need some help deciding the GPU, as in to go with AMD or Nvidia and why.

So far this is what I thought of :

  1. 1080p, 60fps.
  2. Decided on a processor (i5 6500 3.2Ghz).
  3. Want to play games like GTA 5 and Witcher 3 on high to ultra. (These games should be around 40 to 60 fps).
  4. Strictly gaming, no need for DVD drivers but will need a WiFi card.

Thank you in advance

What is your remaining budget after you total up your parts before the GPU? That would help us determine the viability of a high end GPU or not.

If its not too much trouble, i would also like to know from people who actually have these cards. The temps, if they heat up or if they are noisy.

And how the perform with the most demanding games.

And here is my pre picked set of parts from PCPartpicker.

And thank you everyone for taking the time to tell me these things :)
