Generally ones included in prebuilts are just enough for the current system and don't leave room for expanding so yeah.

Your current unit will be absolutely fine. Personally, I'd spend a bit more for a 4GB 380, the extra VRAM can be handy. The 750Ti is a terrible choice though, so just don't go with that and you'll be fine.
