if you want more GPU power, u should sacrifice cpu to pentium ivy bridge, and get GTX 660 :)
but it is better if you want to stetch $60 more from above build to get GTX 660
 
Solution


A 660 is a little bit more expensive than that, isn't it? I thought it was closer to $190. But yeah, either way, the 650ti boost is more powerful - most of the reviews on it were kinda astounded by that.
