Hi I need help deciding between these 2 graphics cards. Both are $220 however the EVGA one has 3gb of gddr5 memmory compared to the 2gb that the MSI one has.

How much of a difference will this make and which card is better?

EVGA: http://www.ncix.com/detail/evga-geforce-gtx-660-superclocked-a9-76221-1303.htm?affiliateid=7474144

MSI: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699&AID=10657534&PID=3938566&SID=&nm_mc=AFC-C8JunctionCA&cm_mmc=AFC-C8JunctionCA-_-na-_-na-_-na

Thanks in advance!

Ok thanks a lot for the help. I highly doubt I will SLI so I'll like go for the MSI over the graphics card you selected just because I prefer nvidia due to their software (mostly shadowplay).

Also I'm curious what an extra gb of memory on the EVGA 660 card would even help with? Still going to follow your advice and get the MSI however im just wondering!

I'll probably pickup the intel cpu you recommended. However would this motherboard do instead?

Just because I dont wanna do a mail-in-rebate since there a pain and take a long time and this board is only $55 without a rebate!

Thanks again for all your help
