Hoping someone from OC might be able to help or any of the forum members here.

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card and think I have narrowed my search down to one of these two:

Asus GeForce GTX 750Ti
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-337-AS&tool=3

MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-249-MS&tool=3

Just wondered which, if either, would be better and if anyone can see an issue with my system running either (my skills in this area are limited but from what I've read I think I'll be OK)

I also saw a good review on this card but wonder how much better it is than either of the cards above and if the extra money warrants it:

MSI GeForce GTX 960
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-277-MS&tool=3

(Thoughts and opinions welcome)

My system:
CPU - AMD FX-4100
RAM - 8GB DDR3
Motherboard - AMD M5A78L-M LX
Graphics - GeForce GT 430
PSU - OCZ ZS Series 550W 80 Plus Bronze Power *eidt*

(this is an old OC bundle unit I bought a couple of years ago I think)

I'm going to read up on B Grades for a bit. At first glance if B Grade just means cosmetic damage then no reason why not.

Thanks for your input
 
Go for that 280x. B-grade usually means returned or repackaged items, or refurbished. You can simply return it if it doesn't work, no strings attached. My opinion is, go for a B-grade 280x if you can, the 960 is a waste of money considering there are R9 290's on Amazon Warehouse going for 180-190. Your PSU's gonna be fine with any single card available right now (not counting multi-gpu single cards like 295), I have the same one.
