to sound like a retard

you have to do roughly a cost benefit item for yourself.


is going with the biggest graphics card worth the $ for you?
is the extra processing power worth it for what you'll be doing.

etc etc

I generally go one step from the top. Because the top end stuff, is just marked up too much. You pay for the bleeding edge technology.

While one step down, it will be nearly as fast and in the case of processors for PC's i've build. There tends to be a 30-40% difference in price for maybe a 5-8% increase in performance.
