First Custom Build - Page 3

660Ti will cover mainstream place where its predecessor 560Ti did. It is the same 670, only with mem bus 192 bit. I was skeptical about that bus, BUT, looking at early benchmarks, I take my words back, its good, out performs 580 like nothing.

The price tag for it will be around 300$ bucks and look for aftermarket coolers. ASUS already have one set and ready

The card will be released on 15th or 16th of August

Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 Ti SC Unveiled - Faster than GTX 670 in Various Benchmarks
its here! haha.
i have been looking around for the price of windows 7 home premium, and it seems to vary with online price being $120 and at best buy and other local stores its $230 ?? i read that windows 8 will be released in october, will the price of windows 7 drop when it gets closer to windows 8 release?

If you wait long enough a copy of WIN7 will probably include a free upgrade to 8 when it gets here. That is what Microsoft did with Vista when WIN7 was coming out.

Microsoft Details Windows 8 Upgrade Plans

A $15 upgrade, although not necessary as windows 7 will be more user friendly for desktop users without touchscreens tbh...

Windows 8 will be fine as it has the option to go back to the original desktop layout, quite frankly though its running on a damn near identicly kernal as Windows 7, most of the updates to 7 have brought it nearly on par with what they are doing with 8... personal preference is the name of the game i think.
