Building a caad 10, and am deciding between a Sram GXP rival crank and a bb30 force crank, I am on a budget, so is the benefits of force that noticeable?
Thanks!

You frame is going to make that decision for you ... a GXP crank will not fit a bb30 frame and visa versa. I know newer caad 10's are bb30. Not sure what you have.
I think that there are adapters so that Campagnolo UT + Hollowtech II BB (¿)cups(?) can be used with BB30 frames, so presumably there is a similar adapter for GXP BBs/cranks ... if there isn't a specific GXP adapter, then the fore mentioned adapters can possibly be used-or-adapted for the GXP BB (¿)cups(?) ...
BUT, if a person is not opting for either a Campagnolo or Shimano crankset, then I think an FSA is a better option than the SRAM crankset just because an FSA crank will generally cost less ...
[I]Why pay more if the crankset isn't being chosen for aesthetic reasons?!?[/I]

There is an adapter made (Wheels Manufacturing is one company that does this. There may be more.) to allow a GXP crank to work on a BB30 bottom bracket shell. Iffin' I were you, I would also consider getting a Cannondale Hollowgram crankset. It's very nice crank, likely a bit better than the two you mention. You can buy 'em new, and you can also pick 'em up on eBay. If I had a BB30 bottom bracket shell, that's the crankset I'd use.
