Hi I am running a phenom ii x4 810 and an ati HD4870 and I am looking to upgrade GPU, CPU and mobo. I am holding out for haswell/vishera 2.0 for cpu/mobo but I'd like a GPU soon. My question is about upgrading to a GTX660 from my current gpu.

1) is this a worthy upgrade? (I game at 1080p, including BF3, Dragon age II, Mass Effect II and) others.

2) And is this particular GPU a good deal? The price seems great to me but I'm not familiar with the brand or the supplier.

Thanks for any help!

1) Yes it is a noticeable upgrade from 4870 (@1080p GTX 660 TI would have been better)
2) Fantastic deal for a dual fan culler custom GFX card! I might get it :)

Thanks guys, ordered now. Based on some benches I've seen this should be a good upgrade (and so wonderfully cheap. . .). Now we play the waiting game for Haswell!
