I just put the 4 components I want to upgrade into my cart on newegg and it's $610. And they charge tax to CA....ugh.

Just asking because I am and if I were going to build a computer with the cards that are on the market right now it would definitely be an AMD card. |

I won't be staying with AMD. edit: And the OP is correct with the OCing taking place on the motherboard - that board is crazy easy to OC. Also, isn't this thread supposed to be about games that will push this system? I'm the only one that has listed games...

You can get a 7950 for the same price as the 660ti. From the factory those 2 cards are neck and neck... and then you start OCing and the 660ti just can't keep pace. IMO, the 660ti needs to drop about $20-30. |

Aside from a $$ standpoint - Nvidia wins. With that said, I've grown to like my 6970 but I'd only recommend AMD GPUs to people who are on a tight budget.

I like nVidia, always have, so definitely not slamming their cards. And I don't know what Metro 2003 is, I will have to look that up, but I will for sure give Witcher 2 a go, the first game was a lot of fun. |

Metro 2033 is fantastic. I know I talked a few people on here into buying it when it was on the Indie Humble Bundle.
