Built a Fun Computer!
#5
Come on man...you can't tease us with just a few tidbits.. give the specs.. motherboard, which i5?, case? powersupply? mem?
And what size is the power supply in it? those 560's are quite hungry and require up 150W, 560Ti = 170W and the 560Ti LE = 210W!

Now if your ridiculously nerdy like me, you may know that that graphics cards can be used for something other than games.
The nvidia card of course is CUDA parallel program enabled. So if your into math and science, you can get applications that access the GPU for computation.
A simple example is R, the free statistics package.. it can be enhanced to use the nvidia. But the possibilities are endless, because CUDA is available to everyone, and you can optimize your own applications.
One university using R went from an intel chip that processed data in 4 hours to less than 2 minutes, and that was using a much older video card.

For those that don't know, even the greatest intel i7 chip will only have 8 cores, but an nvidia 560TI LE will have 448 cores.

Cheers!
