Hello how is it going everyone!
Ok, confused a little bit with this build. Currently I have my mind set on :
Intel Core i5 3570k
2x4GB DDR3 1600 MHz
A Cougar CMX 700 Watts
2 TB Seagate HDD.
Now, I've been thinking about the motherboard. I was gonna ask for the Z77-D3H but it's a bit overpriced for my needs. I don't think I'll ever crossfire/SLI, so I want something cheaper as much as possible while keeping PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0 and 1600 MHZ DDR3 support. This build is already over budget so we're trying to get as low as possible
Coming to the GPU, I had the Sapphire OC 7850 Edition and GTX 660 Ti. They had 550 EGP difference in price, which is around 90 dollars difference.
I've heard that the 7850 OC's like a beast, but I never OC'd so I'm not sure. The GTX 660 ti is a bit too expensive tho, so is the 7850 enough nowadays? Can I OC it even more and get good FPS on a Full HD monitor? Or the GTX 660 Ti will still be the winner?
Is there much difference between the GTX 660 and the GTX 660 Ti? There was like 80$ difference in price, so if not much difference I'd go for the 660 and not the Ti one.
In short :
1-I need a good cheap mobo that'll mainly be cheaper than the Z77-D3h, s that I know it's cheaper when it comes to buying locally. Need DDR3 1600 MHz support mainly.
2-Is the GPU 7850 Sapphire OC edition good enough to compete with the 660 Ti? If not, will overclocking it even further than company overclock make it compete? Is overclocking hard and is it safe? Does warranty cover overclocking?
3-Is there much difference between the 660 and the 660 ti?
Thanks
