So I have a computer which gets my hand me downs from my main computer. This has worked out well until this time around when I don't have a graphics card to hand down to it. So what I am wondering is it better to buy a new 750ti or 760 or buy an older model 580 or 670... maybe even down to a 480? If you dont mind throwing in why you would pick that card over other options please do.

The setup it will be going into is an i3 haswell 8gb ram current gpu is a gtx275
The i3 will be getting changed out to an i7 haswell when I upgrade my main system probably in the next year or so.

The 750Ti I would get. The price was also decreased on pcpartpicker from $150 down to $130 a few days ago.

What is it used for?
A GTX 750Ti is a useful upgrade from a GTX275, but wasted if the system is mainly used on the 'net or for watching movies.
