PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, amazon.com, USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Looking for Nvidia (Unless
OVERCLOCKING: Dont care
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: It would be preferred, but not essential
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I don't have a top of the line system (clearly), although at some point I am looking to upgrade my computer, but for right now I am mostly concerned with upgrading the graphics card. My main question is would I even see a difference between the 650 ti boost or 660 (due to my system being a bottleneck for the graphics card). And of course if there are other suggestions for good cards that would be helpful as well. I am not super picky when it comes to having to play everything on "ultra" settings, but if I could that would be nice.
