650Ti Boost vs 660

[ShivP]

Hey,

I'm planning on buying a GPU around the £120 mark, and I have come up with 2 options;
1. Asus 2GB GTX 650Ti Boost
2. Gigabyte GTX 660 2GB (around £20 more)

Is the 660 worth the extra £20? Can't decide, also heard something about the Asus being easier/able to OC - is this true?

Cheers.

Not sure about the Asus being more likely to o/c further.

Hmm, so it definitely seems worth the extra £15-£20, just wondering about the whole O/C thing - thanks anyway!

Would a Corsair CX600 (600w) modular PSU be enough? I'm guessing it will be.

yes it will. tbh I'd be looking at 270X instead of 660.

also depends on what res you game at but the 660 is definitely the better card.

Another vote for 270X at that price range.
