Advise on New Build No GPU yet

[admbautista]

Hi,

I've recently build up my pc with the following parts,

cpu: Intel Core i5 3570
mb: lga1155 ASUS P8H77-M-LE
ram: G.Skill Sniper (Dual) 2x4gb ddr3 1600 CL9 (F3 12800CL9D 8GBSR2)
atx: NZXT Phantom
psu: Seasonic (S12II) 620watts PSU 80Plus Bronze PHP 3400.00
hdd int 3.5: WDC Caviar Black 500gb
mon: LG 23\" (IPS234V) LED IPS Panel


As you can see, there is no video card yet. I'm looking to get a 660 Ti, but I'm not sure yet which one will I buy, reference/non-reference and what brand. As you can see in my build, I wont be overclocking. And I will also stick to air-cooling. Please give suggestions and comments for my build and video card. Thanks!

MSI 660Ti as a no...

Get the Gigabyte model. Its quiet and cool, and not over priced like the ASUS model.
Though at the price point, suggest looking into a HD7950.

Unforetunately they only have these 660 ti's from where I buy:

Inno3d GTX 660 Ti 2gb/192bit ddr5
Asus GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II 2gb/192bit (OC Ed)
Asus GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II 2gb/192bit (TOP Ed)
EVGA GTX 660 Ti 2gb/192bit ddr5
EVGA GTX 660 Ti 3gb/192bit ddr5 Superclocked w/Backplate
Gainward GTX 660 Ti Phantom 2gb/192bit ddr5
Inno3d GTX 660 Ti iChill HerculeZ 2000 2gb/192bit ddr5
MSI GTX 660 Ti Power Edition 2gb/192bit ddr5 (OC Ed)
Palit GTX 660 Ti Jetstream 2gb/192bit
Zotac GTX 660 Ti 2gb/192bit ddr5
Zotac GTX 660 Ti AMP! 2gb/192bit ddr5 pcie

I also took 7950 as a choice, but as with my readings, 660 ti is the best for my build since I'm only using monitor with 1920x1080. and I'm not planning to overclock. I think also 660 Ti also consumes less power and produce less heat. Is there a good reason why I should go with 7950?

I think, from where I buy, it doesn't come with free games. 🙁
