Which of these two cheaper video cards do you recommend for modern games?

Right now I'm on a tight budget and I bought a new computer that has a lot of good things except a good video card. I found these two cards on Futureshop. Which of these two cards do you think is better for games? This is in Canada by the way.

what rez do u play games at or what is the higest your monitor can take cause if your playing about the 1600s then dont get A 512MB card!!

If you want cheap, dont buy a video card just yet, black friday is near.

Also for chrismass they will roll out a new set of cards, and all the current cards will be reduced in price greatly.

My general opinion is to ignore these kiddies who have no idea what you are looking for, also, research your choices wisely, check the comparison on performance before you buy them, most the times its not even worth the money to pay more and only gives a slight boost in performance.

oh look.. heres one now aHH kick!

And by the way thanks to the rest of you guys for the help as well.

Don't buy ANY components from FutureShop, Best Buy or any other major big box retailers. They will overcharge you. A 5450 should be worth like 55 bucks. I know Scarborough is a bit of a ways away from you, but NCIX just opened a store in Markham, and a store in Scarborough, also a warehouse in Markham. This means if you order something off them it should ship fairly quick.
