I have Powerspec B900 , Q6700 cpu, 4 GB ddr2 and want to buy video card so my nephews can play games. I settled on GTX 750 or 750 ti.

Which of this 2 should I choose?
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Superclocked w/ G-SYNC Support 1GB GDDR5 128bit, Amazon $120
or
ZOTAC ZT-70601-10M GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 (newegg open box) $120

You may have problems if you have 32-bit Windows though since your System RAM that's usable will be roughly 1.8GB if you have a 2GB card.

*WARNING: Many older motherboards appear to have booting issues with GTX750/750Ti. Probably related to the new UEFI firmware.

I have Windows 8.1 x64. Motherboard has 4GB and 2 empty memory slots.
It has DG33TL http://www.silentpcreview.com/article783-page1.html

According to this compatability list http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/Nvidia/700_Series/GeForce_GTX_750_Ti/883/Compatible_Motherboards
the DG33FB is compatible. The DG33TL is microATX with One PCI Express* x16 bus add-in card connector.
Same Bios.

Sounds like it should also even though not on the list.

Solved. I ended up installing this EVGA 02G-P4-3753-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0.
Easy as heck. At Bios setup I told it to use pci-e as primary video card and it booted right up. I used disc provided to update driver.
Works just fine.

Now when I get new motherboard and processor I'll be set!
