Octane is a Nvidia GPU based render engine. There are some things you should look up on the video cards based on the complexity of the scenes you plan on rendering in Octane.

Texture units, ram on the card, number of CUDA cores and GPU type, all come into play depending on how much you want to render at once.

I would still get a decent cpu in your next machine even if you go the Octane route.
