GTX550 or GTX560

My current video card (nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS) is dead. Given my system (Duo Core E6750 running at 2.66GHz and 4 GB RAM), my local hardware guy advises either the GTX550 (160 euro) or a GTX560 (230 euro).

I have two questions:

1) Is the GTX560 worth the extra money?
2) Is the GTX560 the best choice given my system?

To give an idea of how I intent to use the card: one of the games I like to play is Assassins Creed Revelations.

GTX 550 Ti (160 euro)
GTX 560 (230 euro)
GTX 560 Ti (280 euro)

Just read your second post.

I was basing the above on the TI versions
