Hello, I am ordering a new system next week from AVAdirect. It will be used primarily for Photoshop CS6/Lightroom 4 but will also be used for Premiere Pro CS6.

I'm ordering the following components but am wondering about a mid -range video card. Would the GTX 660 ti be a good choice?

ASUS 9X79 Pro

I7 3930K

32GB Crucial Ram

128GB Samsung 830 SSD

1TB WD Caviar Black HD

(2) 2 TB WD Caviar Black HD

Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Thanks for any help.

Sharon

    The 660 Ti has great specs, but I have not yet seen benchmark results. Well, it is completely new, so it will take some time for results to appear, but from the looks of it, it is indeed a very nice card. It would be a good combination with the rest of your components.

    the memory is best to be 1.35v for stability if OC.

    also I would spend the little extra and go for a gtx 670.
