New build wondering between a few parts
everything is sorted enough but,
Wanted
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Socket 1155 VGA DVI HDMI DisplayPort 7.1 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
because of it's features and black PCB but wondered if I should drop back to a MSI GD-55. I don't like it's PCB well all the brown tracers etc but is the gigabyte worth an extra £40
next was between the 660 Ti and 670 wanted the KFA2 cooler as it's the only one I KNOW is quiet but the difference between them right now on overclockers is £90!! and the 660 Ti is 3GB not 2. I suspect however the 670 will back down from £340 but even still it'll be a £70 difference.
so £130/110 for the cleaner looking motherboard with features like the heat pipe for cooling and a built in headphone amp or a more affordable msi dg-55. And is the gpu worth the upgrade considering the 660 Ti already has 3GB vRAM.
