There are 4 contenders in this competition, and they are:

The EVGA GeForce 650Ti Boost: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 660:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The HIS 7850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The Sapphire 7850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Which one is the best bang for the buck?

I guess things you should consider are: playing games at 1080p (Far Cry 3, NFS: MW 2013, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, etc.), temperature, noise level, etc.

Also, I did some of my own research too, so don't think that I'm letting you guys do all the work :p  and from my research I am so far leaning towards the the first one I put up. The 650 Ti. Good choice?

I have used, and was impressed with the EVGA SC 660. You may even be able to find that for cheaper at Best Buy (I work there) check it out. Also this week, best buy has their EVGA SC 660ti on sale for 249. If you can fork out an extra 50 dollars, you will be more than happy with that card, as that is what I currently use and have no problems doing what you have listed.

Go with the 660ti. It's 249, and has the best price to performance ratio right now.

I have one of these and will be getting one very soon for SLI. :)

Keep in mind the GTX760 is faster than the GTX660 Ti. So I'd say that's the absolute bang-for-your-buck champ at the moment. But the Boost and the GTX660 are excellent value options too.

The 760 costs $250 and performs better than the 660ti. But for bang for buck? I own the HIS 7850. For $150, it plays all modern games on at least medium settings at a constant 60fps. So it all revolves around budget. There is a best "bang for buck" card at every price point.

If you can afford the 660, get that one. If you have $250, get the gtx 760.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I'm going to buy the MSI 660 Twin Frozr III (NON TI Version). If anyone is still following this thread, it would mean a lot to me if you would tell me if this a good idea or not. But still, thanks.
