Hey, guys. I thniking about buying new PC for gaming (something like BF3, Far Cry 3, AC3. And here's BF4 and AC:BF coming, yay) My monitor resolution 1440x900, so i think my 660$ will enough for that. So, i have some sketches here:

Mobo - MSI B75MA-E33
CPU - Intel core i3 2120 (or maybe 3220)
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX660 2Gb OC ( non twin frozr ed.)
Ram - 4Gb (2x2Gb kit) Corsait Dominator DHX (used)
Case - AeroCool V3X Advance
Hard drive - Western Didgital Caviar Green 500Gb (or 1Tb)
PSU - Corsair CX600

So, what do you say? Isn't gtx 660 overkill for my resolution? Maybe will better, if i'll buy 650 ti? And this PSU, i think it's little overkill. So, give me your opinion, please, it'll be helpfull. Thanks!

Yes I would say the 660 is overkill, even on ultra. I would divert more $$ toward the processor or a new monitor. I've found that gaming on medium on a high resolution is more enjoyable than gaming on ultra on a lower resolution. The resolutions I've compared directly are 1650x1080, 1920x1080, and 2560x1440, so YMMV.
