From what I've heard/read, for OpenCL stuff you'd be better off with an AMD rather than an nVidia video card. The more video ram the better. I'm currently considering a Radeon R9 280X with 3GB RAM, though a 270X or 260X would probably do, for a lower price. > I have a i7 4771 with a gtx 770 (4gb) and if i disable the opencl stuff, > things get slow.

Personally, I would buy the 4-core part, and spend the money you'd save on RAM or a better IPS monitor.
