I don't think the OP will be able to build a PC, if they could the original questions should be part of their knowledge.

I can highly recommend getting a machine built from Scorptek, specced to what you need: fast cpu, more ram, storage, gfx card etc. the build damn good machines and have a variety of specced machines on their website for all budget needs.

I used to build custom machines to compete in the CG industry when SGI started to get non cost effective.
I recommend Intel CPU over AMD as software is typically more stable and optimised to make full use of cpu features than amd ones.
Also I prefer Radeon gfx cards, over Nvidia for driver stability issues. However while its true some software can use GPUs for processing, they only use either nvidia OR radeon as each has its own methods of GPU processing which are incompatible with each other. So check the software you use to see if it uses nvidia or radeon gpus and decide based on what your actual software uses. a good monitor and colour calibration is important too.

Just speak to Scorptek about a machine for your needs, theres some real inappropriate advice in this thread.
