Well then that would be the difference. The wattage. I mean, it's tremendously small and if you're going to be gaming you'll need a 650-W or higher PSU anyway.
So it doesn't really matter.

Well, it doesn't sound like any kind of Crysis at 1080p maxed out. So, one video card is cheaper. Your motherboard & case are also very important, don't just buy any cheap old mb now. Just for reference :D

i5-760
msi p55-g55
