If it were me, the decision would probably come down to how long I was planning on keeping the PC. If it's a PC you're planning to keep for years to come, it may be worth the investment to spend the extra ~$50 to get something a little more future proof. It may not be worth the extra money if you intend to replace your PC in the next year or two though.
I'm not replacing it any soon. I'll keep upgrading, and then I've got my sister. If I have to go away for a long time, she can probably use it.
