Hi all, I'm starting to think about upgrading my old computer with mostly new parts. Only things I'll be keeping from my old build is the optical drive, old hard drives, case, PSU, and cooling stuff (case fans, CPU cooler, etc..). I've kind of started with the TR system guide Sweeter spot section and gone from there.
I'm planning on bundling my CPU and Motherboard at Microcenter.

Going with this for memory RAM.

A SSD drive.

And then there is the graphics card. The TR system guide has this one in the one from newegg in the sweeterspot section and I'm wondering what the differences would be compared to the one from Microcenter? I tried finding this card at microcenter but I could only find one that had 256-bit memory, otherwise these two cards specs look the same to me unless I'm missing something?

So just looking for some feedback mainly on the two video cards, but also open to suggestions on the entire build. Let me now if I've over-looked anything or if any thing I've listed here will be incompatible. Thanks!
