The 780 hovers around $500. The 770 sells for around $330. The 760 sells for around $250
All of them would be a significant increase in performance from a 7750

That website is not a good one.

There's nothing wrong with that website.

For comparing theoretical specs without giving a care to actual performance or expected workload prowess? Sure, it's pretty thorough concerning specs
It's not a good website for figuring out if a card has a good value/good increase in performance, like dexxter was asking, however, and that is what I was referring to

Should I get the Gigabyte GTX 660 or the Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti?  Both have 2gb gddr5 and similar core clocks, but I know the 660 is slightly faster.  I'm wondering if the better performance with the 660 is worth paying for it.

edit: I know the 650 Ti I listed is no longer available on newegg, I just put it up there because newegg has easy to read spec lists.

Pretty sure the 660 is a better buy than the 650.

I'm about to install mobo and noticed pins aren't completely consistent. Could this be a major problem?

What do you mean they aren't consistent?
Oh the picture never loaded for me soz.

If the bottom of your CPU matches the socket style then there shouldn't be a problem. Also I've never seen this design, half of the socket is pin holes and the other half are pins.

It's sort of hard to see from that picture. I'll assume you're talking about the irregularity in the bottom left part of the socket.
If it's bent, you're pretty much forgeted and you should try to RMA your motherboard if you're not the one who bent it
If there's no pin at all there, you're fine.

He simply asked if it can be trusted.

And those numbers aren't "theoretical", whatever that means.

The numbers are not theoretical, but the website itself states that what it is predicting with those numbers is theoretical

Pretty sure the lowest thing you should go with at this point is the 660ti, if you don't have the money then wait till you do it will be worth it.

My custom built tower on the left and my laptop on the right



Right now my 6570 is the only thing holding my score back.  Soon, it should be up to a better score by Tuesday that is if shipping goes smoothly and on time.
