In won't be over clocking, hence why I didn't look at the K. The XFX card is known to idle at around 60C which is quite high. I prefer Gigabyte simply because I know them, and I know people who use them. In regards to the 660, will that still run games like Planet side 2 on high settings? I'm always up to save a few dollars.

Oh yea, and I'm running the Sapphire HD 7870 along with an FX-8350. I haven't put either under much load, but CoD4 ran like a dream, and as soon as I left the game and checked temps, the FX wasn't even 30C, lol. I need a new monitor though because this one is shit.

The 7870 is barely ahead in benchmarks, so I'd assume the 660 can run Planetside 2 just as easily. I only bought the 7870 for all the games to be honest.
