NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M / i7-2700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of GTX 660M is simply ridiculous. With current 1024 MB RAM, the GTX 660M can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. This combination between GTX 660M and Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss.
