I'm confused what you are saying here. I just compared the two on PC Parts Picker and that 660ti is a lot more expensive than a R9 270 is....why are you comparing those two?
You can get a Twin Frozr R9 270 for $179.99....and the cheapest 660ti is 239.99...Did you mean the vanilla 660 and not the TI...?
He could actually get a R9 270X for that much, which would beat the 660ti performance wise. To be frank...Nvidia is just not competitive price/performance wise in a lot of these price ranges.
I know the internets hates hearing this right now....because "my brothers roommates cousins neighbor had an ATI card in 1999 and it might have had driver problems....so I won't consider a completely different company staffed with completelydifferent people decades later." But on price/performance AMD GPUs are the price/performance winners at most price ranges now that the mining craze has subsided.

I think you should start by reading through the OP and filling out the questions there and posting it here. Where you are and your overall budget are most important...
I'm no expert but if you want performance I think you should get the i5 4670k and a Z87 motherboard for overclocking

You could chop 100 bucks by going down to an R9 280X or a GTX 770 and it would still be a monster at 1080p. In fact, I would recommend that you do that and add in an SSD.

OK GAF I really need some help. I recently built a mini itx system and got a notcua c14. Due to the MOBO i got (Gigabyte n287), it didn't fit. So I ordered a corsair h60. I got that today, took off the intel air cooler, cleaned the CPU, and installed the H60. I also invested in a fan splitter since I only have 2 ports on the MOBO for fans. I also redid my wiring to make it a little neater inside.
Now I am having crazy problems after turning it back on. I am running a crucial M500, and prior to the new cooler, everything was crazy fast, typical SSD speed. Now, its like running off a regular HDD. I have a GTX770, and when running ESO last night, barely dropped below 60. Log in after the change, and I am getting like 3 FPS. Total Slideshow. I have the H60 block running off the CPU fan port, and have a front intake, rear exhaust, and the H60 intake running off the splitter that is on the sys fan 4 pin slot. All fans are running, and are spinning decently on start up, then slow down.
I tried running speedfan to check temps, and It crashed my PC, with a Driver_IRQ error that I haven't seen in years.
Any idea what could be going on? Even the internet is running super slow. How can I tell if the block is pumping? Should there be a noise or anything or what?
I am really perplexed, especially with the whole system just being slow. I am used to seeing one thing or another be slow, but not just a total bog down like this.

What is the difference between the Biostar Hi-Fi Z87 X and W models?
The only thing I can find is that the X has AMD crossfire. Do I need that if I am going Nvidia?

So I'm about 5-6 months away from building my PC from the ground up (I have nothing, currently), but by that time I'll have around $3,500 to sink into it.
Biggest thing I'm wondering is what the graphics card market will look like.
Biggest thing I'm wondering is what the graphics card market will look like.
My brother has asked me for help on building him a pc for heavy video/photo/music editing. He is used to doing it all on a $250 laptop that he bought last summer. Rendering takes ages on that thing, so he's ready to jump in and get something with more power. Above all he wants things be as cheap as possible while still being able to get things done. The next thing would be a small case. As small as possible that will still keep temps low. (not really sure if temperatures are a problem in new mini-ITX cases, as I have never built a small case machine.)
Your Current Specs: $250 Laptop
Budget: 700-800
Ram: I'm guessing 16 will be ideal due to the way that the machine will be used; though I do not know enough about editing machines to be sure.
Main Use: Video Editing = 5, Photo Editing = 5, HD Playback = 5, Gaming = 2 (He will end up gaming with me over the net, he just doesn't know it yet. This shouldn't be a problem, as the 670 is a great card and I'm sure the processor that has to be good enough for video editing will be more than enough.)
Monitor Resolution: 1080p (already has monitor)
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: Photoshop, Sony Vegas, & some music editing software
Looking to reuse any parts?: my old EVGA 670 2gb
When will you build?: The next 2 weeks
Will you be overclocking?: No
Mouse and keyboard will be tackled afterwards; he has both but may pick up a high quality mouse and mechanical keyboard. I let him use my keyboard for 10 minutes and he was already dreading using his own again.
The main reason I'm posting this for help is I closed out the build I had made on pcpartpicker and lost about an hour of research to human error.
Last thing. I'm having him build it on his own. I told him his best bet is to find a build tutorial that uses a very similar if not the same case.
If anyone will a bit more experience than me could point me towards a build or help out with the build that would be great.

So I booted into my board settings and the CPU fan is running 4k rpm but my CPU temps are in the 90s idling, so ita throttling down to like 200mz. I guess the pump isn't working. Sigh. I really don't wanna have to twae the thing down to put the stock cooler back and then rebuild the thing when I get a new cooler. Should have stuck with a laptop

This will be my first real PC ever. I am kind of excited!
After a few days with my new PC I have come to the conclusion that the h440 and h100i are not the best combination. My PC does look nice though.
Basically, been checking everything for stability and after running Prime95 for about 15 minutes the temps go up from pretty stable at about 60 max to 80+ and then stay there. I took the side panel off and noticed that if I put my hand under the radiator fans it almost felt like the we're blowing down into the case. It seems that there are not enough vents on the top of the case to expel the radiator heat and the airflow is actually hitting the top of the case and coming back inside. So I took the top of the case off and sure enough temps gradually fell back to high 50s-60 and stayed there and the PC actually was more quiet because the fans ratcheted down so much.
So now I am left with a few options:
1 Get rid of the h440 and get something with better airflow
2 Mount the h100i at the front of my case and set it to pull air into the PC through the radiator
3 Return the h100i and get a different closed loop system that can be mounted where the rear fan is
4 Just ignore it because how often will my CPU be under that much stress
Now I haven't even started over clocking yet and I want to so I am going to eliminate option 4 for now. I feel like 2 makes the most sense, it should be fairly easy to setup and will cost me the least money, time, and aggravation. I'm just worried that there may not be enough airflow through the front of the case either. I kind of wish I would have gone with an R4 now because you can mount the rad at the top with no obstructions to the airflow.
Also, the fucking Corsair Link will not detect my h100i. I have been researching this and seems to be an issue with Windows 8.1 but haven't found a fix that works for me. Anyone?
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, comments, etc...?

Still on a 2500k OC to 4.4ghz and loving it.
Paired with a GTX 670 OC'd. 1080P with great frame rates.
WIll likely upgrade later on the year. Broadwell 14nm CPU and Geforce 8xx series when they have gone 20nm.

Nice case though. I like how the drive bays are closed off. Makes the case look really compact with not much extra space. I feel like my R4 is a monster compared to that
Yeah, this is the only major issue I've had but it may be a deal breaker. Otherwise the design, both aesthetic and in terms of putting components into it is fantastic. Previous to this issue the only thing I wished was that the case was aluminum, I easily would have paid double for that.

The R4 doesn't look that much bigger and probably has better airflow
Why don't you get a phanteks or a noctua. It'll be cheaper than the 100i and ull get good temperatures.

Well..I changed the Motherboard to Z87 in case I needed to overclock it in the future..thanks!
Thank you so much! I decided to pick up a case & hard drive from a local store, and settled with this specs, is there anything that may "Bottlenecked" my video card or the overall performance? thanks in advance.

Take a pic of the fans on the radiator. I swear it looks like they are setup to pull air.
Also, what fans are you using?
Get the "K" processor. 4670K instead of 4670.
Even a modest bump to 4.0-4.2 GHz will greatly improve smooth play in a huge number of games.

That looks great to me. I don't know anything about Biostar, but I see that the guys here who know their stuff are recommending their motherboards, so thumbs up!
Nope, looks good to me. But, you have to get the "k" chip to go with that Z87 motherboard. The "k" means that it is an "unlocked" chip for overclocking. Don't forget to get a CPU cooler like the Cooler Master 212+.
I also recommend that you get what is called "low profile" RAM. Basically that means that it does not have those big crazy (and useless) fins sticking off the top. (called heat spreaders, although they do nothing). You need that because the tall heat spreaders can make it difficult to mount your heatsink on your CPU. The most often recommended "low-profile" RAM on here is something like G.Skill Ares, or I believe Corsair has a version of their "Vengance" that is called Vengance LP.

These are my current specs.
MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard

16gigs of ram
EVGA GeForce GTX 680+ 4GB w/Backplate
I want to upgrade my processor to an i7-3770k for all the new games coming out like Watch Dogs and Wolfenstien which their recommended specs require an i7. My question is, should I just go with the i7-3770k, a new mobo with a i7-4770k, or get a new graphics card. My main goal is to be able to run these games maxed out at 1080p/60fps on my tv.
Thanks for the help.

I want....but I have been spending so much money on water cooling stuff.....my wife is gonna stick my head in the oven like in Goodfellas.
I know it's not much bigger physically. But the way that the 440 is designed inside makes it look smaller. There's a lot of "empty space" when I look in the R4. Obviously this probably makes for better air flow so I'm not complaining.
I'm going to investigate this tomorrow. Given that the case was specifically designed for water cooling, something seems amiss.
Thanks!
I'm not even sure if it's that much of a problem. When I start Prime95 it runs at 60 max for the first 15-20 minutes and only then does the temp start going up to 80+ when the cooling seems to get overwhelmed. It's almost like when the fans start really running fast they start pushing the hot air into the roof of the case and then it gets ricocheted back thought the radiator and into the case so it just keeps getting hotter and hotter. I have a theory that if the fans were running more slowly the cooling might actually be better because the hot air would escape instead of re entering the case but I can' test this because the shitty Corsair Link does not seem to cooperate well with Windows 8.1 and will not recognize my h100i so I can't adjust any of the settings or profiles. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
The reason I say it may not be much of a problem is because the performance is fine for 20 minutes or so on Prime95 until it reaches a critical mass and then things start going up and up. How often is your CPU going to be under that kind of load in practical use? However, I have not even started over clocking yet and it seems like this could be a major obstacle.
What do you think about maybe trying to mount the rad at the front of the case and pulling air through it? Seems to me like that could result in better airflow as air will not be getting ricocheted back into the case when the fans are at high speed. I'm just wondering if the intakes will provide enough airflow though.

I just installed a H60, that is set up as pull. Hopefully I am not jumping into the middle of a conversation here. For intake you wanna flip the radiator on the other side of the fan with corsair logo faxing out. There are arrows on the fan.

There are R9 280x cards on Newegg right now for $320-$340 and I could squeeze that out however, the most recent reviews posted for that card are awful. Post after post of people complaining about artifacting. So I'm scared. The other option I'm thinking of is maybe a 4GB 760. Any recommendations?

Intake is push, right? Thats an example of pull is it not? Or do I have it backwards?
Intake and exhaust are separate from push and pull.
I'm on mobile, otherwise I'd draw a diagram. But in words, it's about how the fans are moving air. You always want to push the air through the radiator, just as Sky Chief has it setup above. If you were to intake, you would have the fans oriented to the radiator in the exact same way, but above it.
For almost all setups though, you want to exhaust with push.

Do you have a micro ATX mb? Cause that would make sense
Edit: Btw the h440 appears to have a lot of room up top for a radiator and fan setup. The fans are easily clear of the motherboard. That's something I wish the R4 had. More room up top
You can get a 2gb 770 for around that price. That's what I would get
Guys, should I return my R7 265 I bought for $160 and get this R9 270X on sale for the same price after a rebate???

edit: I think the answer is a yes...this anandtech review indicates that I'll get about 10fps more. Am I wrong?

Exactly that one.
I live in the Netherlands too, be aware that you can get it quite a bit cheaper in other stores, that are reliable and have delivery within 24 hours.
