Well, i havent overclocked before, but am fully intending on learning, anyways, should i buy a superclocked version of the 750, or should i get a standard and clock it myself, does it make any difference besides 20 dollars and base clock speeds? Also, I dont care what you suggest i get instead, i am getting a 750 Ti thanks :D

You'll have to disable your Intel graphics, and then use driver sweeper to uninstall everything in safe mode. It's not hard. Just install the driver sweeper program and use it.

As for those cards, $10 is a big difference there in terms of what you get. It's obviously a little faster, but the FTW version comes with a cooler that's twice as big (ACX), and - most importantly - power plugs. Check out the difference power plugs makes on the 750 ti through Linus Tech Tips' video:

(Linus reviewed the ASUS, but the EVGA's pretty much the same)

It'll give you a good deal of extra performance potential. Definitely worth the $10 to me.

What do you mean? Any graphics card only needs one slot on the motherboard. It's a double wide card, if that's what you mean. That only means you need two knockout slots on the back of your case to fit it.

He probably meant the PCIe power connector that some brands have added. It technically adds overclocking potential if your cooling solution can handle the extra heat.

I'm going to go against the grain in this thread and recommend an overclocked card. It's not much more money. The OC goes through quality testing and all that jazz. And you can still add overclocking yourself if you want.

The best thing about them is that the OC on a factory OCed card is "sticky." What I mean by that is that you don't have to reapply an OC every time you restart your computer. That alone (to me at least) is worth the extra $20. People spend a lot of money trying to get their system to boot up quickly, and having to apply an OC each time not only adds to the time, but also to the required user intervention.

All that said, I'd recommend either ASUS or EVGA. They both have a good version of the 750 ti that comes without a PCI-e power plug, and another version that requires a PCI-e power plug. The plugged version of the EVGA is the For the Win (FTW) version, and ASUS's card with the plugs is "GTX750TI-OC-2GD5."

If you like the one without a plug to save on power, heat, and space, then check out EVGA's product lineup for the 750 ti: http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+700+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+750+Ti

Here is a NewEgg filter showing only ASUS and EVGA's 750 ti cards (probably the most helpful link for buying): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%2050001315%2050001402%20600487565&IsNodeId=1&name=EVGA

MSI Afterburner is a common overclocking program that I fully recommend. One of its features is that it saves the overclock and applies it automatically every time the computer is started up and its run.

Awesome, last question, considering i'm running off my integrated graphics of my i5 3570, do i need to do anything extra after installing the GPU? Or does that just happen by default? (auto-disabling of the integrated graphics and transferring to the GPU)? Sorry for bad wording. Also, which would be better to invest into?

Simply paying 10 dollars for the few MHz alone, does it make the difference, (sorry for the huge link)
