#9 msi twin frozr (good OC ing, can be a little loud) or the asus OC edition (very quiet and good temps). Gigabyte is alright, but I had problems with the windforce oc edition for the 670 gtx. I can't really say anything for their 660 ti. zotac is probably the cheapest one you can get.

I have the 670 gtx only because the 660 ti didn't come out till the end of the summer. 670 gtx is really nice though and I'll be set for the next 4-5 years as I'm content with having to dial down the graphics settings to 'HIGH' if I need to. For most 660 TI is more than enough if you are good with a mix of high/ultra settings with 2-4x anti-aliasing at 1080P depending on the game.

#5 660 ti trades blows with the 7950, so I would get that card. It can be overclocked near 670 gtx levels. I would either go with the msi twin frozr or the asus OC edition.

Pretty much done this quarter as a mechanical engineering student at UCSD. been job searching since January. wouldn't be surprised if it takes until the summer to find a respectable/tolerable job.

Silverstone tj08-e is my choice for matx builds. If you are going mitx, I would probably go with the lian li q-08. For mid towers, there's a new arc midi v2 with window.

I have had the fortune of being required to take several coding classes using C++, Arduino, and Matlab at my university. Although I'm not that good at code nor a fan of doing coding, it certainly has helped me a little in terms of creativity.

I played with testify way back in S5 and it was a pleasure playing with him. chill guy with good dm and experience to boot. best of luck on finding a new team!

friendly guy and hard working that I feel entered the competitive scene perhaps a little too early. I would like to take this moment to thank Stealthy for asking me to join the team as there were some good times had. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to play this season in esea open as I've taken a long hiatus (last season was esea-o s5 :O). he definitely tried his best to keep the team together, but it was just not meant to be in the end. give this guy a new team. :D

a nice guy who has a lot of potential to do work as scout. overall has solid scout mechanics. best of luck on finding a team.

was quite the medic movement wise especially. His dm is surprisingly strong and has great movement as scout as well as solid jumps as soldier. best of luck on finding a new team, was great getting healed by you. :D

chill dude that likes to comm lots and is making great strides to getting better. if it weren't for him joining the team as pocket, it probably would have died way earlier in the season. best of luck man.

pretty much carried the team as scout. very chill guy that has solid dm and movement. as demoman he has some sick pipes especially vs. scouts and has good sticky traps (unlike me :/). best of luck wiggles and it's unfortunate the team couldn't hang for the remainder of this season. :D

hippo is an awesome guy with incredibly fast rollouts and great gamesense. He's a chill, but dedicated player and will only get better with the right team. Best of luck on finding a new team. :D
