Is this for gaming? There's no way I'd try to run games on a 1440p monitor with a 660.

What is your budget?

Either way, get some better RAM:

YOUR BASKET
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLAD38G2400HC11CDC01) £55.99
Total : £64.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).

I want to use the full resolution of the Dell 27" which GPU would you recommend if you think the 660 is not capable ?

Memory noted.


Thanks a lot

Gaming on a 1440p monitor with a 660 is pointless, because you'd have to turn the graphics settings down to such an extent that it nullifies the higher resolution. For high settings at 1440p you need a high-end card - a 780 or a 290.

Thats a massive price increase, to be honest the games I will play will not be intense, they will be multiplayer shooters like TF, COD.

This pc is more for professional use.
