Hoping some of you can help. I have a ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD mobo. Its max is a PCI x16. I am able to get a PCI x16 2.0 since it is backwards compatible. However, I am trying to see which of these cards would be the better value. I mainly will play SC2. My current card just isn’t fast enough. What do you think of these two?

Or
EVGA 896-P3-1260-RX GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit DDR3 for $148: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130462
Any feedback you guys could provide would be awesome. The second card is $50 more, but is it worth it for the higher bit rate and a newer model? Any others you would recommend for my price range of under $140?
Thank you.
