What graphics card are you intending on using?
Nice!

I'm thinking of going with a Radeon HD 7790 or 7770 (or possibly a 7850). Should be around $100-$150. From what I understand this should be enough to render video with madVR at Level 5. At least according to the guys in this thread over at AVSforum...

That should be about as powerful as I need, as I'm more into home theater and watching movies than playing games.
