Awesome, thank you all for the answers.

MacAttack, my situation is similar to yours: don't intend to use multi-gpu and need something good for video encoding (actually it's a deeper problem: I need something that stops crashing when using Premiere for video editing). It seems that the 860 is the way to go for me as well.
