Hey everyone, Im planning to build a new computer in the near future. I have a list ready for suggestions and opinions. The computer will be used for gaming and 3D editing with Blender and such. the only thing im not sure about is going with a GTX 680 or an HD 7970GHz. Blenders render engine does use CUDA so that would be nice but the i7 seems fast enough at CPU rendering. Then the 7970 is cheaper and faster, also heard that you can run Physx on the CPU.
Anyway here is the list
