I am looking for a graphics card to buy. I'd like to buy one which will at least keep me going for the next 3 years before I need to upgrade. I don't know which one to choose between the MSI gtx 650 ti boost 2gb gddr5 192bit for R2360 or the Asus Nvidia Geforce gtx650 256 bit 1gb gddr5

Depends on the rest of your system, including the power supply and the processor.

The Ti Boost would be much faster.

I would definitely take the GTX 650 Ti. It is far more powerful than the standard GTX 650:

For the next five years I would personally not recommend any of them. For prolonged usage and achieving good FPS then I would definitely say GTX 680, however, this is besides your point. Of your options then I agree with all certainty with everyone else: The GTX 650 ti boost is the one to go for.

I agree with danzaman. A 650 ti boost isn't going to cut it for 3 years or more. You need to get atleast a Radeon HD 7950 or a GTX 670.

But i'm guessing your on a low budget of around $150.
So the best graphics cards around $150 are the

(3rd place) Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 ti boost

(2nd place) AMD R7 260X (New AMD GPU with mantle support and a audio chip built in)

(1st place) AMD Radeon HD 7850

I would say these cards could last about 1-2 more years or so.

The 650 TI Boost is definitely better than the other one, but either way I'm not sure if you'll make it 3 years. Maybe go for a 760 or 770.

If you're restricted to that price range, then newegg's got a treat for you. The MSi Twin-Frozr OC Radeon HD 7850. It beats the tar out of the GTX 650 Ti (As the chart above shows) and it's $140 but you get a $30 rebate so it's more like $115:
