I don't know about the Rosewill Stallion PSU - they have some good models (like the Capstone and Hive) but they also have some terrible models. I'm not sure which camp the Stallion fits into, but I'm guessing the later.

I would go for a 7870 or a 7850 other then getting a gtx 660. the cards are the same price but the amd cards out perform the 660 for the price. I would get a different power supply something that is atleast 80 plus certified. everything else looks good man.

here are those video cards man:

What's your budget man? I'd as well look at a different PSU, a 80+ certified.

I agree with the others, the 660 takes more power, and performance wise, I'd go for a 7770, or even 7850. ASUS seems to have the best cooling for GPU's out there, but they cost more, and are bigger than the others.

I have an ASUS 7850 OCed to the max in Catalyst, and it never goes over 58C under 100% load for 3+ hours.

Oh BTW, welcome to overclock.net. Have I met you online before, I seem to remember your name from somewhere. wink.gif
