The ti provides the better value of the 650's mainly because you get a higher cuda core count and that will make a difference at that level of card. I also agree with the notion that EVGA would be the way to go at the lower end of the spectrum card wise you really don't need a card with a awesome cooler. EVGA makes amazing reference cards and support them with great customer support and warranties. EVGA is also really easy to deal with and I would prefer dealing with them then any other video card manufacture purchasing quite a few cards with them.
Off the top of my head.
