Think I like your fav as my fav - the 660 make the biggie here, especially for gaming

Here's an option thats a better gamer than either of those. And the "500w standard power supply" has me worried, never skimp on the power supply.

I would suggest an i3 instead of an FX series. I have one and they lack in gaming they way they are designed.

Whatever the DRAM is, make sure you check the voltage - you don't want 1.65 on entry levey 1600/9 sticks...and Kingston does a lot of that, that way they don't have to check the memory chips too close, 1600 should run fine at 1.5 unless its CL7
