    Upgrading

    Hello.
    Im currently running P8P67 Mother Board, 560 ti hawk graphics card, i5 2500k 3,9 ghz overclock and 8gb ram.

    Planning on upgrading in November to Gtx 660 Ti Hawk and I7 3770k, would that work with my mother board?

    It would work but do you have a reason for an i7. For gaming youre not going to be making to much of an upgrade going from a 2500k to 3770k.

    I play games such as battlefield 3 etc, games that need higher items.

    http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=551 For basically every game you will hardly notice if not completely not notice a difference from the CPU upgrade to an i7 you're proposing. Taking the 300+ dollars from that plus what you were going to spend on a 660ti and putting it towards a 670 or 680 would benefit you way more. I would say a 7970 also but nvidia just seems to do much better with BF3.
