Hello,
I am looking into getting a EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB Superclocked Edition(Upgrading from a EVGA GTX 650 1gb DDR5) and, I'm wondering what the difference in performance would be between those two cards. Also, is it more worth it just to shell out an extra $20 for a 660? The benchmarks I've seen between the Ti Boost 2GB Superclocked and the 660(Non-OC) are very even. Lastly, would my power supply be adequate to power a Ti Boost(Cooler Master Elite 460 Watt 12v 27Amps).

EVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB Superclocked : $159 USD after rebate from Amazon.
EVGA GTX 660 : $179 USD after rebate.

System Specs:
CPU:AMD Phenom II x4 965 @3.4 Ghz 125Watt Version.(Would it bottleneck the Ti Boost?)
Current GPU: EVGA GTX 650 1GB DDR5.
PSU: Cooler Maste Elite 460 Watt 12v 27 Amps.
MOBO: Gigabyte 78lmt-s2p.
RAM: 6 GB ddr3
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Case: Thermaltake v3 Black Edition
Fans: 1x 120 MM LED as exhaust
HD: 7200 RPM Western Digital Caviar Blue.

Play games @1920x1080 such as BF3 and Far Cry 3.

I would avoid the "Superclocked" series. EVGA's SC series is the only factory overclocked card from a major vendor that I am aware of that has a stock VRM and stock PCB....the other major vendors beef up their VRMS with more phases and use a custom PCB to handle the extra power. To my knowledge, EVGA hasn't released any info, the Classified and FTW lines still have custom PCBs and VRMs.

Right now the MSI N series has pretty much the highest factory overclocks across the board....as for the performance.....
