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

their peformance ratings are very similar and I was wondering if it was worth paying 40 more dollars just for about 5 more fps on most games.

The performance is not very similar. The 660 will outperform the 650 almost 2 to 1.

We'll I guess that settles it then. Thanks.

I need some help here. I have a Zotac GTX 670 4gb and when I set it into the PCI-e slot, and plug in both the six pin connectors, I get no signal from my monitor. I have put the card in both of my mobo's PCI-e slots. I have reseated the card many times. I also have an MSI GTX 670 Power Edition which works just fine on my board. Not to mention with the Zotac, the fans are going at 100%, so it basically sounds like a hair dryer in my pc. Any suggestions before I just go ahead and RMA it?

Try installing the drivers first, then try again

This is the worst suggestion ever. For the price of a GTX 660 TI you could get the next gen card like the EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB, which has much better performance.

What type of CPU cooler should I get?  I heard the stock one for the 6300 is fine for non OCed CPUs, but I plan on eventually OCing to about 3.8 or 3.9.  I don't know a whole lot about CPU coolers, any help would be appreciated.

Ive heard really good things about the Hyper 212 Evo, and it's only around $40, I think.

[ABlockOfCheese]

Thanks, I'll look into it.
