I don't know shit about the merger or whatever happened I just know they're a team somehow
ati's cards tend to be a bit faster than nvidia (on software that isn't optimized for one or the other) but their drivers are complete shit, I've had nothing but problems with them.

if you end up going with AMD you could probably save a bit more than that buying RAM that isn't certified for 6th gen intel or whatever this one is, they have to pay for the certification which adds to the price of the hardware. if you go with intel buy this because it's certified.
