Yet another...review my build

[minerva330]

Finally decided to switch my primary rig from AMD to Intel. That being the case, I was wondering if anyone could give me a little feedback on my build.

Samsung 840EVO 500GB SSD

3 TB WD RED

gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H motherboard

Intel 4700K CPU

8gb 1600 DDR3

Crosair TX850M PSU

GTX 660 SLI???? (considering SLI because I already own one 660)

I also already own the storage drives, the memory, and the video card.

I feel confident in my choice of CPU.

The mother board I selected because it was a good deal and it OC's relatively well (I will definitely be doing some OCing but I am not super in to it)

Still don't know what to do with the video card situation. I own one GTX 660, I can get another for less $200 but I feel like this build deserves more than a GTX 660 2-way SLI

What are you using the build for other than gaming?

 

[minerva330]

Sorry I forgot to throw that in there. It will be used for mainly gaming and intensive statistical programs, the latter is for work.

I'd get a second 660. In games that use SLI properly, SLI'ed 660's are about 10%-15% faster than a singe 770.

That's what I was leaning towards.

Most newer games use SLI well, no? And for the older games a single 660 should suffice, given some settings adjustments.

Yes, most new games use SLI well
