System Specifications:
1. CPU: AMD A8-3870k @ 3.6ghz
2. Current GPU: llano IGP.
3. Display Resolution: 1080p, 42in HDTV
4. Antec Neo Eco 400w power supply. It has 1x 6 pin power connector.
5. Fractal Design Arc Midi
Budget: ~200-230 usd
Brand Preferences: None
Intentions of SLI/Crossfire: Possibly. I may build an intel haswell rig late this year. If so the llano rig will function as an HTPC and I will likely transfer the gpu to the new rig.
Products Under Consideration: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&SID=u00000626

Needs of GPU: Skyrim, Dota 2, World of Tanks, possibly Planetside 2
Additional Considerations: nVidia has a new promotion offering $50 in game currency for 3 games, one of which is world of tanks, a game I do play, and another is planetside 2, which a friend of mine has been trying to get me to play. I have no interest in the AMD game bundles.
Also, does the gtx 660 or the hd7850 produce a higher quality image? Does physx really matter? Does using a molex to 6 pin adapter work?
