Look at what the major ISPs are doing. Starting next month you maybe highly annoyed at your ISP. Your internet speed may be reduced or even blocked. Not a smart plan by them but then again they are the major providers and there's not much you can do in terms of finding a new ISP.

That is a pretty good build. The 3450 and 2500k are interchangeable and its your choice. The 2500k is ~$20 cheaper. If you are over clocking go with the 2500k.

The 560ti is about ~$75 cheaper then the 660. But the 660 is the faster card. For the games you play 560ti is good enough. With the extra money you saved you can grab a 128gb ssd. Put your OS and games you mainly play on it and you'll be very happy with the performance.

Reading through this thread and the one on steam, it seems the problems are with the 8800 - 300series cards from nvidia. However, I had these problems with my 460gtx. Now I do not have any problems with my current 580gtx. You can stress test your computer all you want but, I don't think it's anything on your end. It's nvidia's drivers or valve's shitty coding with tf2. I'm leaning more towards valve.

I also recently bought a ssd and have tf2 on it. All my problems with tf2 stopped. Any fps issues, crashes, everything stopped. I wonder if anyone have the same experience as me.

#9 - miyari. I had the exact problem as you, but with ati. Every ati card I owned, I rma'd at least twice. The last straw was with my 4870 that I rma'd 3 times and still had driver issues and it crashed my computer. Went to nvidia 460gtx and the only problems was tf2.
