Too bad about the videocard but otherwise congrats to you.

What do you mean? The 7950 is very good for price/performance ratio.

Its Amd, and at this point at the same price point the 660 is a much better choice due to gpu boost

No, it's really not. The 660 is terrible at this point, since a 760 is both better and cheaper.

 

The only thing I would be somewhat worried about would be the motherboard, since the MOSFETs aren't great, but you can't push the voltage very much on Haswell anyway.

Here we go.... The 7960 is a great card, why compare it to the 660ti? 7950 has extrea VRAM and is about 2% faster then the 660ti

nothing, they just are not for me not my cup of tea, and the processors and gpu's are only really useful in gaming.

Well yeah....the Radeon and GTX series from AMD and Nvidia are both gaming cards. If you're looking for a work station card you would be looking at the FirePro from AMD and the Quadro series from Nvidia.

all i'm saying is that when it comes down to it, Nvidia gaming cards work better for workstation work than Amd cards. And intel processors even the core series work better for workstation use than amd processors

 

 

therefor nvidia>amd Intel>amd

a 2 gig 7850 puts up a fight with a 660 for $50 less.  who uses something like a 660 for a serious workstation, my 6300 beats your 3350p at stock clocks and at 4.6 it woops it for $60 less.

*sigh* I like the build personally. Yes, I would have (and will) go with a GTX 760, but the R7950 is still a solid card. Please tell me though that it doesn't have a reference cooler.

What?  I just find it hilarious you could say 

 

 

 

"therefor nvidia>amd Intel>amd"

lol sure intel's better cuz a 3970x is faster than a 8350 but for the price and real world situations your pretty wrong.

AMD and Nvidia are both good, just pick the one with the features you prefer and be done with it lol.
