Hey m8, ive been doing some online research, the ATI 6950 is around 50 bucks more expensive than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560Ti, do u think the extra 50 bucks is worth it? Im kinda on the limit budget-wise, so that extra 50 bucks is a tough choice.

The 6950 is faster then the 560TI but since your a tight budget we can always choose a lower card to comply with the budget.

Ah ok, but my question is should i squeeze out that extra 50$ for that little bit of performance boost? or is there really no difference in the long run. (sorry for all the questions)

Not the biggest difference in gaming performance when compared, only very marginal. You won't even notice it. The only problem with Nvidia is the have some awful unstable drivers.
