Right folks ive been reading through a lot of the threads and ive still to make my mind up on what to pick up.

Ive been out of PC gaming and building for some time now so my home PC consists of some old dell machine ive had laying around and its really no longer up to scratch!!

My main uses of the machine are currently large scale graphics work in most digital media's and currently starting more on 3D model and rendering.
Im also wanting to sack off my consoles (well use them less) and get back to gaming on the PC.

My hope is i can get something that lasts the next few years happily. Im not fussed about been mainstream and having the new gear and to be fair form what ive read im sure a current decent i7k ivy or sandy rig would last me right through Haswell until whatever followed came out especially in terms of £/performance.

Due to a contact at intel i can get a good deal on intel supplied products only and for a one time deal and soon.

I was originally looking at the i7 3770k and one intels dz77re 75k mobo's but now im not so sure.

I intend on picking up a GPU when i have the extra funds a little later as thats one thing i cant get a discount on.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.
