If you upgrade to the 750 Ti then go for the overclocked version you posted, which costs $10 more. I just watched a PC perspective review about the 750 Ti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Pnte_niJE

For the cost of the 750 Ti, you could actually upgrade to a GTX 960 instead. Your current power supply's wattage is high enough: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

However, please make sure of two things before buying the 960: (1) Will the dimensions of the card fit in your HP case and (2) Does your existing power supply have a six pin power connector. The PSU recommendation part says that the GTX 960 requires only one 6 pin connector, but you need to verify this as this can be different for different manufacturers of the same chip.

Normally I prefer the GTX 970 but it's US$125 more than your self-proposed option and you'd need to upgrade your power supply to use that card.

* As for your question about bottlenecking your AMD FX 6120 4.5 GHz, I honestly don't know.

Dude, I'm guessing you're located in Canada by your links. Therefore here is a link to a shorter EVGA GTX 960 card on NewEgg's Canada site: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487093&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-487-093-_-Product

The EVGA card I posted definitely requires a single 6 pin power connector. If your case has that available and you can swing the cost of the card, then go for it. If the price is too high than search the link below for a less expensive model. Make sure whatever you get comes with the Batman Arkham Knight code, as that game drops in two days and represents a US$60 value.
