Hi guys,

Hope you all can help me out here. I'm planning to buy the following:

ASUS P8Z77-I DELUXE + 3570k
2 x Kingston 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
Silverstone SG-05B

Reusing my HDDs (not planning to get SSD... way out of budget for now) , keyboard, mouse..etc.

Now I don't know what GPU to get. I'm planning to use my 2 x 20" 1680x1050 monitor setup until it dies, so I don't need a 1920 resolution capable card for the time being. Any ideas? I'm also confused to whether it will fit in the Silverstone casing, which allows up to 10inch length cards.

Thinking of the GTX660ti?

Only planning to overclock in the long term, which is why I decided on z77 and the 3570k.

Hoping to keep a budget of $1200 give or take.

I am using this setup

i5-3570k + Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
CM hyper212 evo
G.skill ripjawx 2x4GB 1600mhz CL9
powercolor 7950 pcs+ ( budget plus nvr go wrong )

Reuse everything that you can salvage + find a good airflow casing, eg CM 690 ii advance for usb3.0

I am using 2 monitors at 1680x1050 res
