Hey guys this is my first gaming build and I was wondering what would you guys suggest for my GPU. I picked out the HD 7850 because I heard it competes well with the competition for its price. Also, is it true that Radeon cards are more for environment compared to Nvidia? I plan on playing GW2 which has alot of environment effects etc so Im looking for one that can handle the graphics overload of people and effects. Thanks again suggestions to other cards will help loads ty.
