Bugra,

ANY Nvidia card is better for rendering in CS5, which version of Premiere do you have?
 
If you're using CS4 upgrading your graphics card won't do anything for rendering; unless you use one of Nvidia's exporting plugins for CUDA, and even then it's only for H.264 encoding IIRC. You certainly won't get an improvement in Magic Bullet because it relies on the CPU - even CS5 doesn't have GPU accelerated rendering.

If you were to upgrade to CS5 obviously the second card would be better because it's a higher model, but any CUDA card would technically e an improvement over a non-CUDA card. But you wouldn't see an improvement in your Magic Bullet Looks render times, just encoding and playback (maybe).
