[LFraterJA]

why the 660 and not the 570 please explain. just want to understand things a little more

 

[computernoob29]

the 660 is slightly behind the 660 ti and the 660 ti is a good 10% or more faster then a gtx 580, and the 660 comsumes less power

 

[LFraterJA]

wow. so how many fps can i get on diablo 3 and battlefield 3? with the 660?

 

[amuffin]

Depends on the rest of your system.

 

[Deemo13]

What are your system specifications?

Diablo 3 you'll easily hit the 120 limit, that game doesn't take much, for bf3...I've never played it but with that CPU matched with a 660 you should do very very well. I7s are a little overkill for gaming most people will stick with the 3570 I5 which is how I know this without playing the game.

 

[amuffin]

Don't get an H60.

 

[Deemo13]

Lol I have a H60, but I got it for free, so I figured what the heck.

 

[LFraterJA]

why shouldnt i get the h60?

 

[Deemo13]

Its not that great of a cooler. I have one, and on my 2500K, and it cools just fine, but with Arctic Silver 5 and 2 radiator fans I see similar temperatures to my 212 Plus.

For the price, its not the best option there is.

 

[LFraterJA]

well its easier to install than the 212 evo or plus right?

Not necessarily, as well it costs twice as much.
