I'm glad Nik said it, because I was thinking it too;  rather go for the i5 Quad CPU, and the GTX 570 GPU.


Just my $0.02 -

If you compare the GTX 560 Ti specs to those of the GTX 570 you’ll find there’s only a minimal difference between them.  In spite of the 570’s wider memory bus, it actually scores a bit lower in the MTexel/PS department.

So for a 30 to 40 percent hike in the price you’ll only see about a 10% gain in performance. It does depend of course on which set of benchmarks you reference, but for my money it’s too small a gap for the additional money.  

If money isn’t a factor, go for the GTX 590 (which I’m sure could be maxed out as well) – I won’t be benchmarking one anytime soon considering its price.

Sounds like a nice rig Caroline -  

What?
