Last person I told to go Nvidia rather than ATI/AMD ignored me and came and apologized after 3 months saying never again will they buy a video card from them. You might save some money, but they can't do drivers right. Every couple of weeks he would be having issues with drivers in relation to a new game. If all you do is play 1 game (hopefully SC2) and stick with it for years I'd be fine recommending AMD because they can only mess up drivers so many times for the same game. But if you like to grab a new game every so often to play on the side then I don't feel as though it is a good idea. He isn't the only one either. Numerous friends have the same issues with their AMD cards. Another friend even had to get their card replaced 3 times in a month before switching back to Nvidia. One of them the fan died, another just made a lot of noise and another wasn't performing to the standards of other reviews and benchmarks. And yet in an equal sampling of friends and family who have bought and used Nvidia there has been at most 1-2 cases of a DOA card. But if the card works at the start, it keeps working and is often still working 5 years later. So in my overall experience, I would agree wholeheartedly that an AMD card is a bad play when investing large amounts of your hard earned money in a new gaming rig. But hey, it doesn't affect my wallet when other people buy.
