Haswell i5 with Nvidia GTX 660..or Ivy Bridge with 660Ti?

Rozzdog · Aug 14, 2013

As above.. purely down to budget constraints, do I buy the i5 Haswell 'k' with a Nvidia GTX 660 2GB, or the Ivy Bridge variant with the 660Ti.. I'm not planning to OC, and will be using 8Gb 1600hz RAM.

it would be helpful to know what the budget constraints is.

+1 ivy bridge

With a dedicated GPU you would be just fine with IB. There is really not much difference in performance between IB and Haswell.

++1 IB.
Rozzdog: a few names: Aria, CCL, Dabs, Novatech, Scan, Overclockers, Ebuyer, Pixmania.
Several of these guys have specials on the 6xx series, with a few sub £200 GTX670s' in the offing.

Thanks guys, for £200 the 760 seems like a no brainer based on all the rave reviews.. Gonna search around for the best deal as I really gotta stick to that budget! Glad I can save a few £££'s by getting a discounted Ivy Bridge.. That'll help!
