APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This summer BUDGET RANGE: none really, but preferably under $600

psu: ax1000
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, amazon, or ncix ( whichever has the best price, deals, or warranty ) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: United States
PARTS PREFERENCES: I'm cool with both amd and nvidia ( Manufacture must be well know ex. not power color or diamond )
OVERCLOCKING: Yes SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Having a hard time deciding what is withing a reasonable price to get 60+ fps on most popular titles. I am fine with sli, but am somewhat unsure because I know that it can be quirky with some games. I also realize that some games are bears to max such as crysis, crysis 3, metro 2033 and far cry 3. I dont expect to be able to have constant 60 fps on those titles, but a good 45+ is what i would like. (Max settings with about 4x AA ). I have looked at 660ti sli (2) | gtx 670 ftw | gtx 680 lightning | and 7970 ghz | I want an answer that is unbiased and can tell me what is a good buy and should tide me over with a decent cushion in most games so that I can run it with fraps at 60 fps until more mid-level to high end cards can handle 1440p and you dont need to spend $1000+ on things like the ares II to have constant 60+ at that resolution. The quieter and cooler the better.
