Vectorworks PC - Best System?

[TheSkateyBird]

Hello,
A friend of mine is looking into building an AMD based system for use with a program called "Vectorworks" which incorperates Cinema 4D Rendering software.
The rendering quality looks something like this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yiLUOK-z9U&feature=related

I was wondering what kind of system spec would he be looking at to render this kind of environment without it taking an age to render each frame?
We're working with a budget of around £2000 including dual 24"+ monitors and peripherals. Any advice or system set-ups any of you can provide would be a great help
Thanks,
Ross

Hmm, i7 2600K is a quad core right? We were under the assumtion that more cores would be better and for the price we could save about £50 and get a six core black edition and overclock it to make up for the performance difference.

Ok, thank you all for the input. I'll make sure my friend checks this thread out. These set-ups have definetly shaved the cost of the build down by at least £1000
Thanks again
