I've found that ATI's are much more stable with Maya when you're using the consumer cards; as they tend to have better OpenGL support. (Trust me, I was the lucky one who used to run around replacing video cards at the office) Also, why would you get a $1050 6-core CPU @ 3.3 GHz when you can get an 8-core @ 3.6 GHz for $269? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103960
