They are almost at the same price, the gtx 660ti is on offer but just for few days. So I don't know if to get the gtx 660ti (if it beats the r9 of course) or wait for prices to go down and get maybe a hd 7950 or gtx 760?

I have an i5 and 520w 80+ psu if you need to know..

The msi one is great, and will fit perfectly in your case without issue. Your psu is also just fine for connecting to the new gpu.

Personally i would see if you can find yourself a non reference msi one, as their gaming twin frozer 2 cards are not that much more (might be same price) and will be much quieter, cooler, and faster than the reference version

So far the gtx 760 seems to be the best option :D
Here are two models, which one would you guys recommend?

http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N760-2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Specification - which I think its the reference card
or maybe..
http://www.zotac.com/products/graphics-cards/geforce-700-series/gtx-760/product/gtx-760/detail/geforce-gtx-760.html - which to be honest, I dont really trust that brand.. zotac?!

They are both about the same price here, I have 520w and 29cm space in my case, will I be okay??

I would go with the MSI as they are a very reliable and trusted brand and I have some of their products and I've never had an isue with them.

Thanks, but I am not from the US. That twin frozer is much more expensive here where I live so I can only go with the reference msi or zotac.

It is a canadian site that i listed, but if the zotac one can be had for cheap, then it won't be worse than a reference model Looked up an oc3d review of the card, and it isnt really any better than reference in terms of performance, it is just a little quieter

yeah typically if they have that same one fan blower style, they are a reference card (not much difference no matter what the brand name) Even if they are overclocked, you can typically get any of them to reach that same overclock with the right tweaking. The only real difference between the cheapest 760 2gb and the most expensive one would be noise level, better temp, and a max of 3-5% more performance

Thanks for the info, I think I will wait for prices to drop and then get the 760 because right now it is x2 more expensive than it should be.

Don't expect the 760 to come down anytime soon, especially since the holiday prices are about over. If you can find a 760 for $280 or cheaper, then you have found a good deal. You do have to consider that the 760 is a bit faster than even the ps4 in terms of graphical performance.
