As someone already suggested, try to get your hands on a GTX 750 Ti. It costs about 20 bucks more and gives you much greater performance compared to the really low price difference.
Take a look at this:

@ Where to buy one?
Just compare a few sellers like amazon, local stores, regional sellers and so on and pick the cheapest one.
Prices really vary from country to country and seller to seller.
