Hello everyone :) I am very much a novice when it comes to hardware but now my computer has kicked it I want to have a computer system that suits my needs. I want it for gaming (mostly indie games and ones that aren't to pressing such as tf2,dota 2,Civ:V but I would like leeway to play higher end games if I wanted to).

I also want to start learning to animate so I would like to be able to experiment with the Blender programme. They say a geforce is best for blender so if anyone has experience please share :)
Sorry that I am so new at this :( But I would love your help! Thanks everyone x

The 750Ti has been rumoured to be arriving soon, so it might be worth waiting for that.
