By the looks of your video card it is a older model and the Nvidia 
proprietary 173 drivers are the ones you want.
I do it through ADD/remove software.
Make sure you have RPM fusion repos installed the search NVIDIA
Select the latest Driver 173 and the kernel mod FOR THE KERNEL YOU HAVE

Once installed do not reboot and add the this after quiet on the kernel 
lines of GRUB.CONFIG. rdblacklist=nouveau

Save the grub.config and reboot
