spec me a rig!

[mS_Design]

I have £500 to spend on: A motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU and PSU.

-I want to animate, render for uni and in the future with no problems.

-Moderate gaming at high levels (BF 3, skyrim)

-Monitor is currently 1600x900 but will upgrade soon to 1080P.

-I want to give piledriver a chance but would a i5 3750k do the job just fine?

-Im prepared to overclock.

I am not one for updating constantly so would want it to last for 3-4 years?

Many thanks!

wow thankyou for a fast reply.
i have an antec 300 at the moment so so atx will be ok.

Yes they are SATA

@Bacon? The programs I use are Autodesk Alias, SolidWorks, Sony Vegas. My current Q6600 gets crushed by a 20 second animation I have produced. mores cores are better? :/

hey guys, so I forgot to say that I have a 530W coolermaster PSU. I put the request there in case it was needed for CPU or RAM.
I also have 3 7200RPM HDD's in my current rig too so the money I save from some builds posted here minus the £40.00 PSU could go on a SSD maybe? or a better GPU? I like the 8350 for £150!

@ Danewesley nice find mate! Thanks!

wow guys thank you for the help so far! The 7850 I see can be overclocked quite abit! Now I have to think if a 2700k setup is worth £50-60 more than a 8350 setup! XP
