As the title states, I am building a new pc and have everything decided upon other than a gpu. I had previously picked a 780 lightning, but with the 290x and 780ti dropping, I am re-evaluating. I will do a bit of gaming at 1080p on a single monitor, and want to try and max out the graphics settings if possible. I would rather not wait too long for upgraded versions if I don't have to, as this computer will be used for class as well. School programs include, solidworks, mathcad, matlab, and Autodesk. I know a gaming card isn't optimized for these, but I can't afford a quadro, and I don't want to be forced into non gaming applications only.
Thanks,
Jason
