Okay, now I know what GPU you've got. And yes, you're right of course,
it uses the 319 drivers.

That would be a pity, but if you have to.....

There are problems with that as you can imagine. Debian packages can
get confused by a previous nvidia installation. I don't know whether
the same is true the other way round, but better safe than sorry.
I include here a list of all nvidia specific packages I have installed,
for the sake of comparison with your own list:
glx-alternative-nvidia_0.4.1
libgl1-nvidia-glx_319.76-1
libnvidia-ml1_319.76-1
libvdpau1_0.7-1
libxnvctrl0_319.72-1
libxnvctrl0_319.72-1
libxnvctrl0_319.72-1
nvidia-driver_319.76-1
nvidia-kernel-dkms_319.76-1
nvidia-settings_319.72-1
nvidia-alternative_319.76-1
nvidia-xconfig_319.72-1
nvidia-installer-cleanup_20131102+1 *
nvidia-kernel-common_20131102+1
nvidia-kernel-source_319.76-1
nvidia-support_20131102+1
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_1.0.10-1
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia_319.76-1
* handy for ensuring the nvidia downloaded module stuff doesn't
conflict with the Debian packages.
