Hey guys looking to upgrade my PC slightly, have purchased another 4GB of compatible RAM to put in to max my boards potential.
I'm mainly going to be using this PC from now on for watching Blu-rays and high quality videos on my TV as we have gotten rid of the monitor.
My current specs are as follows:

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT (Two of them)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB) 800mhz PC2-6400
Motherboard: ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB

I'm looking to get rid of my graphics cards and install a new card with a HDMI, I will rarely be using this for gaming but would like a stronger card incase I pick up an older game at some point.
I have narrowed down to a 2GB GeForce GTX 750Ti (Either a EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti FTW ACX 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card or MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card)

As I'm not too clued up with the latest kit, could you guys possibly tell me if my board will support this graphics card?
I'm tempted to go for the MSI as its £20 cheaper, and dont see much difference apart from the brand name, but if anybody knows of a significant difference between them please let me now!
Thanks a lot for reading.

Both very good cards. I would recommend the EVGA just because they have great support just in case you run into any issues. I can vouch for MSI as I am running two of there cards and they work flawlessly. Its really up to you if you decide the extra 20 is worth the support.

Thanks for the quick reply man, think i would prefer to pay the extra in all fairness.. I think the support will be worth it in case there any issues, I would rather play safe than sorry!
Do you have any idea if the cards will fit with my motherboard however?
