AMD or Nvidia. It doesn't matter at all, both have pros and cons.
If you want the best card for your money, AMD is the way to go. It's that simple.
If you want lower power consumption, this gen Nvidia is the way to go.
And if you prefer a quiet card, choose an AMD with an aftermarket cooler or an Nvidia one.
By the way, the 2 cards you have listed will exhaust the hot air from the GPU chip inside your case, so be sure that your case has enough airflow to dump that air out of the case or look for a card with a cooler that exhaust the hot air out of the case (reference coolers).
