I currently play (mainly) World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Final Fantasy 14 but the intel 4400 doesnt let me get very high graphics and fps.



I have been looking around places and seen EVGA GeForce GTx 750 Ti SC.

The site has 3 versions of it (2 are small ones and other is a full sized card).

Which on of them is the best choice? Is there much of a difference between full sized and smaller sized one?


Also if you know of any others besides that let me know please.

My PC is a Acer Aspire tc series atc 605 I havent ever looked inside(relatively knew so not gotten dust in it yet) so I am not sure what the power supply is.

Help would be much appreciated :)

The GTX 950 is an upgraded 750 and has a very similar price. LINK

Here is how they rank: Best to worst(they not dramatic changes though)
GTX950 ACX2.0 FTW - (180$/170$ after rebate)
GTX950 ACX2.0 SSC - (170$/160$ after rebate)
GTX950 ACX2.0 SC+ - Recommended (140$/130$ after rebate)
GTX950 SC - (160$) - Single fan, great for small systems

The GTX950 starts at roughly $40 more.

1. $90 for GTX750Ti (after $20 rebate): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n750ti2gd5oc

2. $130 for GTX950 (after $10 rebate): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42956kr

*I would strongly recommend the GTX950 however as it's a pretty huge difference, however you may have POWER SUPPLY issues.

You can choose to replace your existing PSU for about $40 or so so it depends on your BUDGET.

GTX750Ti requires a quality 300W power supply, though some won't work well if you try to overclock the card (like overclocking the Asus version which is probably my top choice).

Solutions:
1. GTX750Ti
2. PSU + GTX750Ti
3. GTX950
4. PSU + GTX950

Thus open up the case and see what power supply you have, though I suspect it's roughly 300W so not suitable to the GTX950.

Example recommendation:
GTX750Ti (Asus): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx750tioc2gd5

GTX950: EVGA above link

PSU:
Antec VP450 if on sale: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450
EVGA http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100w10500kr

Summary:
BUDGET determines what you should do. My advice is to get a GTX950 + suitable 450W+ power supply if possible. If you can only swing the GTX750Ti then I'd recommend the Asus but I'm not sure how a 300W generic PSU would handle that.
