The 580 is probably closer to 20% than 50% faster CUDA wise than a 680 from what I've seen. It also uses more power. And are getting harder to find. The 690 is nice if you have the budget for multiple cards but it only takes the space of one card and produces much less heat and energy requirements if any dual cuda cards

Similar situation for the 690 vs 680. A lot more expensive for not a whole lot more bang, unless you are pushing millions of polys in maya / zbrush or have a gaming addiction (guilty). Its also a pretty big power suck, drawing around 300 watts i think? it means you need at least a 1000 watt psu. Furthermore, while the 680 / 690 do support four monitors, the 3gb gtx 580 (which only supports two simultaneous) actually has 150% of the CUDA performance of the 6xx series, due to nvidia gimping the Cuda processing in favor of quadro line. It's also even cheaper, although hard to find.

cost effective big time at the moment unless money is no issue at all.

And please remind me, why choose i7 over Xeon?
