The GTX650TI Boost is a decent card. I'd definitively recommend that over the others. Depends on your resolution as far as 1 vs 2GB. I'd lean to 2GB if the price difference isn't huge. 1GB should be fine as I'd assume you would turn on AA and other eye candy things that suck up VRAM.

Most of the australian stuff is way overpriced and i meant 200AUD so with the dollar atm i think the 660 is a bit much, Im thinking of going the 650 but should I go 650, TI or TI boost and 1gb vs 2gb?
