Is the amd build better with the 660ti and $100 less?

 

[Deemo13]

Neither. They both do not have sufficient power supplies for the cards.

Neither. They both do not have sufficient power supplies for the cards.

I checked it out with http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine it says its enough power?? almost enough for 2 660ti's I thought it was to.. am i missing some thing? sorry for my Noobness lol

 

[hbeduryan818]

That psu is horrible not just because of wuality but its weak a 600w or more is recomended

 

[Deemo13]

Yes, but the power supply itself is of poor quality.

 

[Deric_5]

Yes, but the power supply itself is of poor quality.

would i need 500W or 600W PSU?? I would like to spend the lest amout of money as possible im going to be new to PC gaming. Thank you for your help.. I had the CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W but i saw that 500W for $20 so i picked that one instead

Try this power supply, CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply, it will work for either build, I would go with the GTX660 in the AMD build price / performance. Forget about windows 8.

Try what power supply?? and your saying 660 instead of the 660 Ti

Forgot to enter the psu in my last post, but yes go with the 660 on the AMD build and save yourself some money.
