On the Zotac, the GPU is clocked a little bit higher, and the memory is clocked higher as well. The links you sent me both say 2GB of RAM.

On those links (Newegg), they are out of stock. Where would you get yours from?

I would probably get the Zotac because it's faster AND cheaper.

And yes, the ASRock has built-in Wi-fi.

You can do something like this and save $60. This gets you a much better quality power supply, and a lot faster HDD. It also has wifi built into the board.

Absolutely right.

(I know this is for Blender Cycles, but it should apply to VRay, too)

And if you plan on getting two 580's in the future, don't. Just get one GTX Titan Black. It's about twice as good as two 580's, and it has 6GB RAM.

However, for 3D rendering, the 580 is [strike]way[/strike] better than the 770.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude.

And sorry about the 'way', I took it off as soon as I could, but not quick enough!

That would have been helpful to know lol

The i7 is a great CPU and will do you just fine :)

A good power supply from Corsair (AX/TX/HX/GS) SeaSonic or XFX would be perfect. I would stay away from the CX series from Corsair if possible. If that is the best they have, it'll be ok, just wouldn't want to stress it.

Can you get a GTX-680? Its CUDA rendering is a little faster than the GTX-770.

Otherwise, the 770 will be just fine. (And the 770 is better at gaming, if you will be doing any of that...)
