ok their's my build, I have a 660 TI in there but I want to know which GPU I should nab or the 660 TI, I do not want AMD (Unless you can convince me) since I always have problems with their drivers and other shit.
any input would be apreciated
Hmm I rate it a 6.0/10
You're getting a not-well-known PSU, I'm guessing porbably because of price. Try this Seasonic S12II 620w instead for a nice name brand quality PSU instead of the hec one which seems to have some pretty crappy reviews on newegg on top of the DOA complaints. OCN also seems to suggest that they're overrating their powersupplies so it could be a 750w peak rating as opposed to continuous wattage rating.
If you're going to cheap out on air cooling, get the trusty hyper 212 evo because it costs less and performs better than the freezer 7 pro.
I would pick up some faster ram. Probably some Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 2x4GB DDR3-1600. I'm just assuming you like Mishkin so I stuck with the same brand although in modern non-APU situations, 1333 vs 1600 is miniscule so it's not largely important.
You're lacking an SSD for a computer that beastly! Samsung 840 Pro or Samsung 840 for performance or budget respectively.
Regarding GPU, I'd grab a Geforce 670. They've dropped a lot in price so you can pick one up for about $350usd.
I've updated it my build a bit
Also I'm very tighty I would LOVE an SSD but no money for it nor will it be too benificial (I can always buy one later) I also swaped the 660 for a 580 since it was only $20 more.
Please keep in mind I'm in Canada so every thing is $10 more + 15% tax
Do you really need 3tb of storage? If not, get a smaller one and get an SSD, I'm glad I did!
I don't know if getting a 580 for 20 bucks more makes all that much sense, a cursory glance at benchmark makes it look like they are head to head, eventhough the 580 takes up some more juice. Maybe get a 660ti with an aftermarket cooler, like the MSI TwinFrozr of Asus DirectCUII option and overclock it a bit? The 660ti gives you more CUDA Cores (Dunno if u need them) and more memory on the GPU.
Yes I do need 3TB, I currently have a pool of 1TB main drive and a 2TB external which are both close to full, as for benchmarks the 580 is 10-20 fps faster in most games and seems like the better buy. I'm on the edge on which GPU to get honestly. As for SSD I can always pick one up later if needed.
