I have done a LOT of testing on configs. Panoramic 360 doesn’t use the GPU at all (but it maxed out all the cores on my i7 while it was running!) so if you do a lot of these then upgrade to an i7 and pick one that can be safely overclocked to 4GHz (I would do this regardless). If you need to make savings because of the extra cost of the i7, lower the spec of the SSD to a Hybrid.
Standard renders do use the GPU but not particularly heavily. The GTX750 is fine but you could use a lower level NVidia card with much the same result. I’d also stick to the video cards listed in the first post.
