Voted for EVGA, since they're slightly in my budget more as compared to MSi smile.gif

Not trying to bash Nvidia here but the 660ti is probably their worst GPU to buy ATM other then the GT 640. Lackluster performance and high cost is all you will get, go for a GTX670 at least. The 660ti goes back and forth with a 7870, with the 7870 having higher min fps in most games. I could care what brand of card you get, just that the 660ti for the most part is a joke and should be avoided like the plague.

I love the minimalistic look of the EVGA GTX 660 Ti. Some other cards are just to flashy/ugly.

None of the above. For the price of a premium 660 TI (like the Zotaz amp!) you can get a reference GTX 670 and IMO that's a much better investment. Want to save pennies go for the non TI 660 or a Radeon.
