Posted June 7, 2013 Build looks fine so far. If I was you, I'd drop the 660ti and go for a 7950, much better performance. Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

Posted June 8, 2013 Author Thanks for all the help everyone! As for a mobo feel free to recommend one, i prefer the 660 ti just because the better drivers and iv'e had several of their gpus. Again thanks iv'e never seen a better community! Building a PC: check it out here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1qvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 8, 2013 Author Do you need cuda cores? if not go with the 7950, better value vs performance at the is present moment in time :) Probally true, although i do need cuda cores for work in cry engine, and blender etc it reduces rendering time. Although i am kinda new to amd gpus so i'm a bit skeptical Building a PC: check it out here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1qvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 8, 2013 Also, i can't really allocate alot for the mobo as i am a freshmen in college, 950 is my budget for everything I made a few changes to lower prices and put a Samsung 840 ssd in there. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/14bN0 Edit: If you must stay under $950, you could just take out the ssd and save some money.
