It is a powerful gaming system! Personally i would go for a 3570 and save $100, the difference between the two in gaming is very little at stock clocks.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/550?vs=647 Here is a bench between the 660Ti and the 7950, if you decide for a 3570 you can buy a much more powerful card like a 7970.

Here is a benchmark of the 7970 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/508

I do not see a power supply on that list, did you forget to write it down or are you looking for recomendations?

Thanks for the help!

and yes I'm not to sure on the power supply what would you recommend?

A XFX 750w will do the job and give you plenty of power left over for future upgrades, Corsair HX 750 is also a wonderful power supply.Seasonic also makes wonderful powersupplies as well, as the Rosewill Capstone series. Take a look at the prices on those and post back what they are and we can pick one.

XFX 750w $500

Corsair HX 750 $250

Seasonic 500w  $119

Holy heck $500 for a XFX!That is insanely high, which seasonic is it exactly? What's the model number? So far the HX750 seems like the best one, those prices are definitely high.

Indeed they are it is because I'm in New Zealand 

XFX Black Edition P1-750B-NLG9 750W

8

also Seasonic m12-II 650w for $175

Can you manage to afford the HX 750? The XFX is wonderful but not $500 worth wonderful, the HX750 seems like a better deal.

EDIT: Seasonic it is! That is a much better price and Seasonic quality seal the deal.
