higher is better. but your psu must be higher than your gpu requirements and your mobo should have PCI-E 3.0 and at least 8gb of RAM

Hi,

I am gonna make you a recommendation based on my past experience..
I had a phenom 965 black edition paired with a geforce 660ti. The phenom was scoring about 4500 points on 3DMark11 physics and the 660 ti about 9000 on graphics score... that means theres a high bottleneck, I fully experience that when playing far cry 3 and crysis 3 in high cpu demanding zones the FPS just cut about the half.
I can see that your i3 is scoring about 4200 points on 3dmark11 physics and is surely gonna bottleneck with a 660ti or a 7870.
What you can do is an upgrade to at least an i5 2500K or 3570K or just get the gtx 660 which will have less bottleneck.

I had zero bottleneck when i upgrade to i5 3570K.

Best Regards

John

User experience is always nice :)
But the problem is, I5 3570k and I5 2500k or the 4670k are 100 euro more than an I3. But theres only like 5 euro difference between the 660,660ti and the 7870. I don't have the budget to get an I5

I will probably upgrade my ram in the future, so no 2 sticks for now.

Well then of these three i would get the 660ti asus because 7870 xfx is not a good brand unless you can get the sapphire 7870
