Hey, im soonly im goin to build my pc:

  • GTX 660
    Corsair Carbide Series 300k
    WD blue 500GB HDD
    SanDisk 64 GB SSD
    OCZ MODSTREAM pro 600w
    intel core i5 3570k
    Corsair Vengeace 8GB (2x4GB)
    Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212
    Asrock z77 extreme4
So my question is:
What gtx 660 should i get?
The MSI: (link MSI)
or the EVGA: (link EVGA)
The MSI one has a little bit more clock speed but normaly those extra clock speeds are only on paper...
So yeah, give ur opinion :)
Or even if u know a better gtx 660 without being the gigabyte one cuz they look awfull and i want cool cards ;)

Your EVGA link is broken, just so you know.

My opinion will be slightly biased here (look at signature ;) ): Get the EVGA.

Facts:
The MSI GPU will put more ambient heat unto your case. If your case can handle the extra heat, go for it (although that 3570K will be putting enough heat in there as it is :) ).
The EVGA GPU will push hot air out the back of your case instead of making your case responsible for dissipating heat. In my opinion, GPUs following this form factor are better. :)
If you have a little more money, you can buy pre-overclocked GPUs.
660s on Newegg Yes some of these have the "MSI layout" but you see your options. :)

I just link Newegg because it's easy to search what I'm looking for and link it as quickly as I can :) I know people around the world require other retailers. You may check out Amazon because Amazon usually has incredible deals :D
