So im trying to build a pc, I need help on 2 things.
Specs:
I7 3770
Asus p8z77 v lk
Sandisk 128gb SSD
1Tb hdd
Corsair 8gb RAM

So here is my doubt, I searched online it says that gtx660 ti and gtx760 are the same price and gtx760 perform much better, is it true? Shoud I go for gtx760?

Secondly, what psu should I use? What brand and how many watts would be good.

So, is my specs compatible with each other? Are they good?

I partially agree with the above.

1) First, look at the GAME DEALS: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7430/nvidia-announces-holiday-geforce-game-bundles

I believe the 760 has two games, but the 770 also has Batman Arkham Origins. If BAO interests you then it's currently $50 which closes the gap to within $30 of a GTX770.

2) The 760 model linked above has a blower fan which is probably much noisier than other models. It saves a few bucks and may be needed to exhaust in a tiny case, but THIS ASUS for $10 more has a much quieter cooler: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx760dc2oc2gd5

3) There are a couple really great 770's. I've got lots of games that run great on my GTX680 (same as good 770) but I wouldn't want any less...

I would go with a gtx 760 it does have better performance and it is a great card. I would go with the EVGA brand with the ACX cooler as well. I love my EVGA GTX 770 and it has really great performance. I would use the Seasonic brand PSU and those are extremely great... Seasonic is the king of PSUs currently an I have a Seasonic MI2II 650w and it hasn't failed on me yet... but any Seasonic should be good.

Is Zotac brand for gtx760 good? Because it is quite a good price. For cooler, is corsair 650 watts good?
Do I need a fan or cooler in my cpu

I recommend either the MSI TF or Asus DCU2 version:
a) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n770tf2gd5oc

b) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx770dc2oc2gd5

I like the Asus the most, partially because of the rigid backplate that helps prevent WARPING over time which can wreck a card:

Due to budget, I might possibly get Asus Gtx 660 directcu II, performance wise, is there a big difference between Gtx 660 directcu II, Gtx660 ti and Gtx760?
