Hi everyone!

I've just started a new build and would like some feedback on a graphics card I've found... it will be used for light gaming but is it capable of so high end gaming as well?

The main build is...
Case - Corsair Obsidian 350D
Mobo - Asus P8H77-M
CPU - Intel Core i3 3.3GHz
RAM - 16gb DDR3 1600MHz
Sound Card - Creative Sound Blazer Z

I won't be over-clocking, i'm using 5 case fans, so it will be permanently cool...

Any comments, feedback or recommendations would be most welcome!

Yes skip the sound card. But I would rather recommend u to use a GTX 650 card (Or HD 7770/7790 due to the PSU)rather than upgrading to a i5, your GPU is too conservative and therefore limit your rig's performance

If I lowered the RAM, what would recommend I go for?
I want a computer with SUPER speeds... I don't think 8GB will be sufficient?

Im going to use the Intel Core i5-3750 instead, but what would you recommend for the GPU?

Many thanks for that,
GTX650 Vs. GTX660ti? I believe i'll be using the Intel Core i5-3570K instead :)
