Would a $1000 budget be decent? I was hoping to play things like Skyrim or WoW in 60fps at full settings.
You can build a machine to play Skyrim at max for half that, actually. I did it with a meh AMD cpu and a GTX 660 for a GPU.
And WoW takes up even fewer resources. Nah, $1k is a fairly good budget for a gaming machine.
 
4 years ago 1k was great, and now look at how things evolved, as of late 2019, you get gpus that cost 1.2k  
things have changed

(I see the point but I still need to do this)  
>implying integrated graphics could run an extra shader  
memory performance is the doom of integrated GPUs
 
I once had a decently running Intel HD 530 and the framerates almost halved the moment I switched from dual-channel to single-channel memory

There is no difference between nvidia and radeon. In the budget / performance tests the testers mostly prefer radeon. But the same budget offers same performance. And they are supporting the same things.
 
Never buy Intel…

I would say it relies more on your budget than anything.
 
In my experience, you get more for your dollar with nVidia, but you can get a decent AMD card for cheaper.

I can see why you would think that, but honestly, this really did help me make up my mind between NVidia and Radeon, I’m not very tech-savvy yet, so I was stuck between the two because of two of my friends suggestions. :3
