Ok, so I have two pc's and want to buy a video card and make one of them a gaming computer.
One is a dell small form factor (I am limited with my video card options here) Optiplex 7020 with an i3-4160, 8gb ram, 250gb samsung ssd, and I am thinking of putting in a GTX 750ti 2gb from Newegg:

The other is a dell tower (regular size) optiplex 3020 with a Pentium G3250, 8gb ram, 250gb samsung ssd, and I'm thinking of putting in a GTX 950 (and a new power supply to handle it):

The i3 is faster than the pentium, but the 950 is better than the 750.
Option 2 is to get a 750 in the dell tower since I can leave the stock power supply there (and save some money that way). So basically, both systems would have the 750 in them...I assume the i3 would be better in this scenario.
Let me know your thoughts on this. These computers cost me $250 for the Pentium and $300 for the i3 from the recent dell sale - great deals.
