I'm building an Internet / Ebay computer for my parents and want to spec it spec decently so that it will last them a while. It won't be used for games but I plan to use a discreet video card so that the CPU doesn't need to do the work of drawing the display. I'm Thinking of using either a gt-720 or gtx-750ti for a video card. I'm thinking the 750ti may be overkill for web browsing, but I would spend the extra $50 to get it over the 720 if it would be better for what I am doing. Which one of these cards would give me the best bang for buck? I'm not at all familiar with AMD cards, but would consider one if it was a better value for my purpose. I'm only going to have one display, and I'm planning to use a 6600K i5 for the CPU and will have at least 8 gigs for Ram. Thanks!

The built in graphics on a 6600 is more than sufficient for browsing and MS Office type use. Save the money and buy a better (quieter) CPU cooler and better quality power supply. Those two things will go toward longevity as much as anything.
