Blender

Anyone using Blender?

Buying a new or "new to me" graphics card and I don't want to spend more than £200 was looking at a GTX760 OC but the GTX580 is looking rather tempting

Does anyone suggestions

What cpu and res?

Do you have a decent quality psu?

Current setup:

I5-2500k (3.3Ghz, Socket 1155) Sandybridge Unlocked but not over clocked.

Gigabyte GTX 460 OC

Screen Res 1: 1920x1200 32Bit

Screen Res 2 1680 x 1280 32 bit

Power Supply Corsair CX-500

16gb Corsair 4 x 4gb

Asus P8P67 Pro (R2 I Think)

I am not interested in gaming performance its blender rendering that I'm interested in. I think that my PSU won't take a GTX580 but if it is significantly faster than a 760OC then I will be interested in it - Other cards considered

I read somewhere that the best price to performance ratio for blender is the Nvidia 570, and they the 5 series are definitely better than the 6 or 7 series for that sort of thing.

edit: Except the 780 and titan but they are somewhat dearer.
