I'm a complete newbie when it comes to building PCs and I'm trying to buy everything in one go for convenience. I've found that Newegg has pretty much everything I need except the GPU, which is important for my build. The only GPU available on Newegg right now is the MSI Ventus Geforce RTX 5060 TI, and it's actually $10 cheaper than the MSI NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5060 TI. They both seem to have the same specs with 16GB GDDR7 memory. Are they just different names for the same model or is there something different about them? I'll share the links to both GPUs so you can check them out:

You should definitely go for the one from Newegg! The Walmart option is from a third-party seller and they're not even sure about the exact model of the GPU. It looks like both cards are Ventus models anyway.
Honestly, they're the same graphics card. If you check Walmart's part number, you'll find it matches the Newegg one. The price difference is just Walmart trying to offer a better deal.
They are both MSI 5060 Ti Ventus 2X. Same model, just labeled differently across the two sites, so no worries there!
Good to know, thanks!
Gotcha, will do. The GPU I’m trying to match from the video is the NVIDIA version. Would that affect compatibility?
