Hello, I was originally planning on buying this GTX 650 (OVERCLOCKED):

BUT, I only play RTS games, a few racing games, and Minetest (Minecraft). Portal 2 is a rare exception, as I play no first person shooters. Maybe some third-person games like Batman Arkham City. But I don't play any games like Crysis, Metro 2033, Call of Duty, nor do I plan to. And I know that those games use the most graphics muscle. SO, my question is, would I be okay in spending a little less and getting the GT 640? I would really like to play at High settings. 1600x900 monitor. Would I have to upgrade in a year or two if I bought the 640? Just wondering if the GTX 650 is overkill for my needs. Would also like to do a tiny bit of overclocking, not anything extreme. Thanks!
