AMD currently has the design wins in the next generation consoles and their architecture is pretty great. They are about equivalent with nVidia but given the fact you have a weak PSU the better energy efficiency of AMD ought to be better because the AMD architecture hard caps the power consumption so I can be more comfortable recommending it.

Well firstly Nvidia is slightly more energy efficient right now.

And second AMD is only even because the sites are using the wrong methodology: http://techreport.com/review/23981/radeon-hd-7950-vs-geforce-gtx-660-ti-revisited/11

Personally I'd rather have visible smoothness than a higher FPS number.

adriane23, what games are you looking to play that you can't right now, and at what resolution?

Well, the resolution defnitely needs to be 1080p, but as for games, I have no idea. This is why I want to make minimal improvements to my PC. I was actually going to make another thread about what PC games I should try. I might just make that thread today, since my questions for this thread have pretty much been answered.
