Hi guys,
I'm looking at putting together a new system- Seeking some advice here...
Now that the GTX 800 series is soon to be released from Nvidia in the first or second quarter of 2014. Do you thinkthe jump in performance is going to marginal, like that of the 600s->700s.. or if Nvidia has something special planned for the 800s that'll be worth the extra cash?
Also, where do you guys find your systems/parts? Newegg, ncix?

800 series is a big update, arm processors are going on the GPU to make it less dependant on the CPU. I'm also expecting more VRAM, and unified memory, which means the CPU and GPU can share the vram on the graphics card.
It should be a bigger jump than the one from 600 -> 700.
