Mobo/CPU/RAM for £400

[Jacky-Boy16]

Hey guys

I use a lot of cpu/ram intensive software for work (zbrush, maya, photoshop etc), and I'm looking to build a new computer to deal with these programs. Do any of you know of any good mobo/cpu/ram combinations to deal with this, for around £400.

The mobo doesn't need any fancy bells or whistles really. I'm just after brute power.

Cheers
