Reasonable Video Gaming Upgrade

[Agent Orange]

At the risk of sounding like a carnival hawker, this is just too good not to pass on. I just finished reading a review of the Zotac GTX 750 Ti PCIe video card in a leading PC magazine. If you are on a tight budget or just plain thrifty, and would like to turn your current PC system into a quality gamer, this card may be your ticket. The street price is about $140, but it can be had for a little as $119 at some of the main line supply houses. What's more, the card has 2 GB of GDDR5, uses only 100 watts, clocks in at just over 1 GHz, and only needs the PCIe slot for power - no 6 or 8-pin rails to your PS. Worth checking out.

Erroneous Info:

The GTX 750 does indeed need a 6-pin line out of your PSU. Shouldn't be a problem for most PC's. Still sips 100 watts. Sorry for any confusion and the bum dope.

I almost went with a 750 Ti, but instead went with the previous generation's 660 instead (especially after I found a refurbished model at a significant discount and learned that it slightly outperforms the 750 Ti).

What was the price differential if you don't mind me asking?
