Unfortunately, he is located in the Netherlands, and probably won't have access to the stores we have here.

660 ti is one of the best cards out there, but...
Check for yourself on Notebookcheck. Maxing settings in latest games clearly shows that the card can run things at around 30 to 50 FPS. But anything below the super smooth 60 FPS is like crap, isn't it?
That's my opinion (maybe 60 FPS is a bit too much to consider), the OP needs to be informed of this if he's doing a one time investment so that he doesn't regret later.
No, 30fps+ is the general consensus for smooth game play. Sometimes, frame rates above 60 can give you problems as well. The thing is, I understand people want to just turn everything up wide open and balls out, but sometimes you are turning stuff up and turning stuff on that makes almost no difference in appearance, and kills frame rates. I recommend using google for every game and finding out what settings actually do before just cranking it to 11 and rippin the knob off. You realistically want to shoot for an AVERAGE fps of 30+ and I'm almost positive the 660Ti will do that at 1080p. Something to be aware of: GTX 670's are coming down in price and often a man can find one on sale........quickly making it the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
I would say Kbrady is right on pretty soon the second quarter will be coming in and new toys will be coming out and prices will fall
Oh well, fine, if 30 fps is the performance measuring factor here, then 660 ti will be too good as it can run almost anything at >30 fps, maxed out, @1080p.
I don't know what kind of gamer is the OP but I personally see a real lot of difference between 30 and 60 fps. 60 fps takes gaming to a new level.
60fps is indeed better......but 30fps is the line where a human eye can actually perceive the slightest bit of individual frames........generally speaking. I guess I will make a compromise and say if the OP is the type of gamer to just crank everything wide open without knowing what he is turning up, you might want something a little beefier to handle future games.
I currently have a Corsair Force 3 SSD I don't want to put to any waste, so I'd like to RAID0 them, and I would need the optical drive if I want to install physical games, as far as I know. :)
Is this monitor any g ood? 23" and the cheapest IPS I could fine on the store.

My vendor doesn't have any water cooling available, unfortunately. But I'm planning to overclock the i5-3570k up to 4,4GHz as I've heard. Is that possible with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO?
Yes, I will be fine with between the amount of 30-60FPS. Don't worry. :)
Looks nice! I'd personally add a mechanical hard drive as well for media and other non-read-time-dependent files.
Yea it's fine just run games with AA off or at x2. Should do fine at 1080p with that card and the rest of the build is some good choices.
