Best way to spend my money?

Alrightee, I'll be getting roughly 400-500 bucks in the next couple of weeks.

I was wondering which is the better option is spending that amount.

A) Use it solely on a GTX 660ti

B) Buy a GTX 560ti and use the change for a 120gb SSD

The second option sounds great since I am also bundling in an SSD along with a decent GPU, but of course, the GTX 660ti sounds just as good... LOL

i would personally get the gtx 660ti

Wait you can get a 660ti and a 120gb ssd for $400

4

If you don't already have an SSD, get the GTX 560Ti and a SSD. I think you'd enjoy the performance benefit of the SSD a lot more than you'd enjoy the performance benefit of a 660Ti over the 560Ti.

Not sure why you would get a GTX 560 TI. If you have $400-$500 to spend, you could do a lot better.

$400:

I'm pretty sure he is from the Philippines, and from what I know they probably have higher hardware prices. Places like Newegg aren't a viable or doable option for him.

+1 on living in the Philippines LOL

I actually over estimated my budget; it's 300-400 not 400-500 (d'oh!); some of the products here follow near identical prices to Newegg, etc, some even are cheaper, but the 660ti in particular is nearly over 400 bucks.

So, yeah it's still a dilemma on how to spend on it.

Excellent! Good to hear you've got good prices were you live, hate to see people down from hardware pricing.

Yep! I am glad that the prices here are following the suggested retail prices mostof the time. It wasn't always like this but thank goodness it is now. Nearly able to build my dream PC.

I might put off the purchase of either 1 660ti or 1 560ti and 1 120gb SSD, for a couple more weeks. Who knows, I might be able to save some more cash and be able to get a 660ti and an SSD. LOL

I'd go with a 660ti, those things are BEASTLIKE.

And rather get a good ssd later down the road
