Don't know why you REALLY need to have Nvidia GPU???
Also for the rest money you willing to spend on GPU (500), you should buy an SSD.

I was hoping to use PhysX with my particle system using FumeFX 3d and i was wondering if i don't buy the the nvidea card how can i use PhysX ????????????
as the amd card is a really good price point.

I don't know to much about 3d programs mate, so I cannot tell you if that will work or not.
In that case you may be better of going for nvidia, the price difference is only 66£, so you not spending a lot more in the end.

ok thank you for all your help i will have to wait and see if i even win in the comp through i never do:-( as i really need a new rig now as my 3d max 2013 is not working and 3d max is having problems with my rig:-(

 

[howies]

if you are planning on overclocking then i would change out that motherboard. the VRM is very limiting (i have the gd65) and cannon get past 4.6 because the VRM's is sitting at about 90c

go for a gigabyte UD5 or an asus sabertooth

This psu is discounted can any one help find alternative one
