Choosing a Graphics Card

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

Hey all,
I've recently built a gaming computer, but didn't have the money
to complete it at the time. Now that I do, I'm shopping for a dedicated
Graphics Card. I've been shopping on Newegg, my new favorite place
to shop for components, and have come across two that I think I like:

EVGA 02G-P4-3660-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2-2GD5 GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


In case you need to know, my system build consists of:

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

MSI Z77A-GD65 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid Tower Case

Dynex 520 watt PSU


Please let me know which Graphics Card would be better or even if you
think an entirely different one would be best. Thanks in advanced,

you need a much better power supply. a Dynex 520 watt is going to explode if you try to put a decent GPU on it. look into Antec.

As far as the cards, they're all but the same, it doesn't really matter. which is cheaper and comes with more stuff?

I would get the Asus card because the cooler is more efficient (should give you better temps while being more silent too).

I don't know about Raidmax, but for PSUs I tend to recommend the following brands: Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, etc... They all have very solid reputations for PSUs.

Here's a very good one:

There's currently a 30$ rebate by Newegg + a 15% off promo code (direct saving) + a potential 20$ mail-in rebate. With all these rebates applied it makes the total price drop to around 60$. Sweet deal for a very good PSU that usually costs above 100$.
