Here are my systems specs.
Intel I-5 3330
Intel boxdz77ga70k
600w thermaltake psu
12 gb ripjaw ram 2x4 and 2x2
Windows 7 ultimate

Now my old card was an asus Gtx 460 that just fried
I'm wanting to get a card this weekend to run as a temp until I can afford so
Something a little nicer so I can continue to play games.
I really only play wow and lol so I don't need a cutting edge cars but I want something that's a little overkill.
Here's what I found at micro center that's cheap and seemed decent but I woul like/ value your opinions.

Now I was really hoping the zotac would be okay for now.
I'm familiar with the GeForce Gtx series but is the gt series comparable?
What's the difference. Or should I just avoid that card
And thanks for the advice

How long do you expect to be on this low end card?

Can you wait and put the $100 or so into the new card you eventually intend to purchase?

The 630 is pretty weak. The 650 a bit better, but still not that great for gaming. If you are deciding between those cards (cause that's the only 2 links you gave) is better performance worth the $30 to you?

Hard for us to say really, you didn't say what quality you wish you can play at with those cards. Maybe WoW has only one setting, I don't play it. Sorry if that's the case.

Are these cards worse than my 460??
As long as one of these is comparable I think it will be fine for the time being

Well it will probably be a 3-4 month temp or maybe more. I don't need it to do games like crysis or anything
But I don't want it to suck. As long as its close to my 460 I had then thats fine.
