If you are using the system for renedering, have you thought about a Quadro or FireGL card? If you were looking at spending almost $700 for a card you can easily get a mid range pro card. They are optimized for working with programs like CAD and video render stuff. And should be able to handle games although not as fast due to the drivers being optimized for quality and accuracy rather than speed.
