Need some help choosing a video card. Build consist of a core i7 3770k processor (thank you MicroCenter) with the AsRock Z77 Extreme6 paired with 32gig's G.Skill memory.

Box will be used to render video for live shows in HD, general office use and 10 to 12 hours gaming (wish I had that guys job).
But my main concern for the build is rendering video not FPS playing games.
Budget is 250 to 300 tops. Comparing two EVGA cards. One has 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 with 385 CUDA cores. The other card has 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 and 448 CUDA cores.
Here are the two I am looking at.

Which would be better for rendering. More CUDA core with faster bus or More memory with slower bus and less CUDA Cores?
Also there is the Open GL 4.1 or 4.2 differences.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
