... Lol I didn't know a 3570k was a GPU.

Hmm, GTX 770. The 660 Ti is noticeably worse. :| Your build is the sweet spot in gaming PC parts. The best price-performance for gaming without wasting the extra power. If you could, I would tell you to get a 780/780 Ti or 290X/290. 

... Ewww Nvidia :(. /joke

i'd go with the EVGA GTX 770 with the ACX cooler, but that's just me.

 

770 is the clear winner against the 660ti lul

Probably Reference EVGA, the one with the Titan Cooler

 

If you're buying one soon, I recommend buying this one:

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130946

 

it's 339.99 after rebate, and the stock-reference cooled one is 379.99.

 

Not only will it be faster, it's 40$ cheaper, has a better cooler, and it will run quieter.

Stuff:  i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz  |  Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda
