My best bang for the buck would be a new GPU that's way more efficient than my current GTX9800+ (only 6kPPD on a good day but heats my room up several degrees). The GTX 970 @ $330 looks good. I'm still using too much power with only my CPU folding. 5kPPD
my i5 sig rig uses ~300 watts to fold.
CPU + both GPU's.
300 is probably a bit lower than it actually is, but my rig will never pull more than 410 watts from the wall. (Mining full power)
270 uses ~120 watts I bet, and makes 70-80Kppd
7850 uses ~100 watts I bet, and makes 65-75Kppd.
Just some figures for yous guys
