The girlfriend wants a PC because she is getting frustrated with how long it takes to render her CAD files etc on her laptop. When it comes to gaming I know what I'm looking for but don't really have much of a clue when it comes to CAD and rendering etc. so my challenge is a decent Rig for her needs, what would I be looking at? i5 or i7 or neither. Doesn't have to be amazing just better than her little dual core laptop.

I'm thinking of maybe letting here have my z77 and 2500k and buying myself an i7 or something. Would a 2500k cut it?

Budget ideally needs to be as low as possible, this is just for the rig itself no OS, peripherals or monitor. I can always go second hand as well. Say £500 max?
 
I was thinking the hyperthreading might help a lot, but then if she can get my i5 and board for nothing is it worth it?

In terms of GPU is it even that needed? Maybe a 750 or something would do?
