Is it worth the almost $20 extra?

I want to upgrade my graphics card as my single HD 7770 1GB isn't very future proof and I want something that can run games at higher settings alot easier. Like Ice Enhancer for GTA 4. It's pretty laggy. My friend has a Gigabyte GTX 650 2GB that runs everything superbly with alot to spare. I'm going to upgrade to either a Gigabyte 650 Ti OC 2GB or a Gigabyte 650 Ti Boost OC Edition 2GB.

There's like a $20 difference but the Boost has slightly better and higher clock speeds and such. It can obviously be OC'ed to a higher speed without it taking a bigger toll. Do you guys think it's worth the $20 extra in the long run for future proofing or performance wise? Much thanks.

The GTX 650 Ti Boost has a 192-bit memory bus, while the regular GTX 650 Ti only has a 128-bit bus. That is a huge difference, and the higher core and memory clocks are just icing on the cake. It's easily worth the extra $20.
