I got these cheeseburgers man....

Are a lot of games optimized for PhysX(or whatever it's called)? Because it's pretty cool in Borderlands 2, but I don't know if many other games have features for that.

Not really, no. That's why it's not all that popular currently. Very few games actually utilize it to it's full potential (like Borderlands 2).

Do you think it will ever become popular?

Not until consoles can support it, so it'll be another few years.

I've seen what it does in BL2, but what exactly is it's point?

And even when they can, it's still a matter of if they choose to support it too.

It's just an aesthetic add on, it doesn't really have a point other than to make the game look better. When I had to use my parent's computer with a 6750 (so obviously no physx capabilities) and I got back to playing with my 670, I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything now that I can use it. It's still pretty cool looking, though.

So other than that, does Nvidia have anything over AMD that's a must-have feature?

If you render videos, some formats and software can take advantage of CUDA, which is generally faster than using your CPU.

Not really. Neither card has a "must-have" feature. It's whatever you want from your GPU.

I don't really intend on doing rendering much.

Here's what I suggest:

Get some G.Skill RAM. They have a lifetime warranty and great customer service.

Get a 2120 instead of the 2100. Same price and 0,2 GHz faster.

Grab a Z77 board if you can (AsRock Extreme4).

Yeah, don't get that motherboard. It just crapped out on me.

Just saying....but the board I'll be getting is the ASUS Z77-V-LK. Such a nice board.

I switched on AMD and Intel because I got confused. Sorry. EDIT: Do those 2 I listed good either way? I'm just wondering.
No, get the ones Fluffy linked.

Yeah, but the processor is pretty old. You'll be better off with an i3.
