430 or 6570 for HTPC?

What do you guys think about this GPU for a HTPC build from my local Microcenter?

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0371739#tabs

It's a Zotac 430 for $26.99 after MIR (Newegg has it at $59.99 after MIR). A 6570 at Microcenter would run at least $59.99 after MIR. And I heard the 430 can hold up against the 6570 but I also don't want to 3D. Should I buy the 430 or wait out on a good 6570? Only thing worries me is the future proof of the 430. I'm not sure what new features the 6570 has to offer over the 430 if someone can please shed some light. Thanks

This is kind of an obvious answer if you ask me. Id go for whichever was the cheaper of the two. I actually own a zotac gt 430 and its quite a lot of card for the buck. I got mine for around $20AR and I cant complain. Great for the games I play and great hdmi output to tv with sound.

Off the top of my head, I cant remember which is faster between the two in games but....for $27AR...why would you even consider spending $60 for a 6570, that thing is definitely not worth $60.... If the 6570 was also $30AR that might be worth debating but....

I personally prefer nvidia drivers over amd as well.

My gt 430 will even play skyrim at the resolution I play at and with the quality settings low.
