I went with those 2 cause it was the only thing in my price range.
I did read the reviews, trust me, I would've preferred Asus or Sapphire nitro.
Those are at the least $300 and up.
However, I've been pondering at the thought of maybe waiting till Sept end.
I'll have xtra money to actually get a $300 one.
I've gone this long with the GTX 650, what's one more month.
How does that sound?
Then i can actually get the Asus.
Is there a diff btween 4G and 8G?

For $300CDN, you could get an RX 590 w/ 8GB or a GTX 1660 w/ 6GB (not ti). The GTX 1660 would probably give the best performance.

4GB vs 8GB? That's mainly be used for texture memory. I doubt that an RX 580 or RX 590 would be powerful enough to exploit 8GB of VRAM, but I don't really know. Higher-end cards typically come with 8 GB.
