I'm building an HTPC for emulators and movies and will be hooking it up to my 1080p TV. I will be putting it inside a TV cubicle - so low electrical consumption/low heat matters. I will not be playing any intensive games on it because my main computer has a 7970 for PC games.
What graphics card should I get? In my area, I can get a GTX750Ti for $100, or a GTX950 for $132. (let's pretend the prices will be constant)
I was considering the GTX950, but this might be overkill because I won't be playing the top of the line PC games. Emulators should run at max graphics even in older GTX4x0 or Radeon 5xx0 cards. Should I get the GTX750 Ti and use that savings to treat myself to a few nice dinners?
Can anyone think of any reasons why I should spend $32 more to get the GTX950?
Edit:
My HTPC has a G3258 OCed to 4Ghz, 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and an SSD
I'm 80% sure I'm going to go with the GTX750 Ti. However, I kinda want that extra power of the GTX950 simply for power sake, but I can't think of any logical reason why I should get it over the cheaper GTX750 TI because I won't be playing any intensive games on it.
