I've looked a bit closer at both video cards and the 460 has double the memory interface of the 550Ti, 256 vs 128. BUt the core clock in the 460 is much slower. So which has a bigger impact on performance, core clock or memory interface? Memory is the same between the two (1GB each).
Edit: Which manufacturer should I go with? I've heard EVGA, but if I can get one from MSI at a cheaper price would I still be ok?

So, I'm starting the process of building my first computer. I'm stuck on deciding which video card I should purchase. Currently, my choices are the GTX 550Ti ($139 on tigerdirect.com) and the GTX 460 ($159 on tigerdirect.com). According to videocardbenchmarks.com the 460 has a higher rating. Is it worth the extra $20 to buy the 460? Or should I stick with the 550Ti?
