Hello all, i have read alot of things about NVIDIA VS AMD, and i cant make my mind up.

I am soon to buy my fist gaming PC and i am a NVIDIA fan, what i would like it for someone to try to convince me why i should pick a AMD one.

So many people just put the the AMD XYZ but never actually explain why, and would be good to start a conversation where i can ask questions on your reasons.

My full PC will be something like this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1c6S0

thanks in advance

Realizing that you are picking parts in the UK, I would just say that I think you're going to find the GTX 660 Ti and particularly the GTX 760 to be the better deals. Overclockers.co.uk has a KFA2 GTX 760 OC for just slightly more than your GTX 660 Ti. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-046-KF&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1830

When are you going to build your pc? Reason I ask is because the gtx 760 is a much better buy than the 660ti and is cheaper to boot. However, I just checked on the UK amazon site and didn't see it in stock anywhere reasonable. If you can wait a week or so to see if it comes in stock, I'd get that. Otherwise, the AMD 7870 Ghz ed card is a cheaper alternative. The 7870XT is a slightly more powerful version.

Also, after looking at your build, I would actually just recommend getting an air cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (or plus). It's half the price and cools better than the water cooler you listed. It's also a lot softer.
