I am building a budget video editing PC for a friend of mine but she only has 800 dollars to spend max. So the video card selection is a bit tricky here, I know that the mercury playback engine uses Nvidia CUDA cards for GPU acceleration but for $60 which card would you prefer?

A. GeForce 9800 GT HDMI 1GB 256-bit DDR3
Or
B. Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5

Would it make world difference using the Geforce over the ATI card for CS6? The 5770 is a much more powerful card and I feel kinda bad having to install that outdated Geforce card.

Thanks.
