    Yes on CUDA... budget is not a major consideration, just want value for my money... will be carrying this around campus from time to time, so don't want a boat anchor.

    Yep, he's a film school student, so the best video editing/rendering will be important to him, although by the time he's doing heavy-duty stuff we will have progressed a couple of generations in hardware! :rolleyes:

    Building Replacement Gaming Rig...

    Since I haven't been keeping up with the latest Intel offerings, I don't know much about their current chips. Why are you recommending the i5-2500k as opposed to the i7-2600k? Am I just a victim of their marketing scheme, or is the higher number a better chip?

    Windows Update Just Killed My New Build!!

    Actually, it was a good experience for him. He is 14 and starting to get more interested in the hardware aspect of computers (he's been a gamer since he was about 6!). He went through the whole troubleshooting process with me and he guessed it was the mobo before I did. He also helped...
