Just need something to connect up to my 3D Printers so I can design/print pretty simple items.

Suggestions on different parts?

Should I need more graphics horsepower for the design process, I can throw in an Asus GeForce GTX Titan
 
Is a dual-core enough to power 3D design work? I know it overclocks quite well, but are you sure the processor won't hold you back?

The programs I use aren't very "threaded" so I doubt if a 4-core would be a big improvement
 
I've done simple designs for my 3d printer in an unlocked sempron 145 and it was fine. creating gcode files took a little longer though
