P.S. If you ever decide to get a computer which is intended for 3D use, get a workstation/server motherboard with two CPU sockets.

SUPERMICRO MBD-X8DTL-i-O Dual 1366 ATX sized mobo 200%.jpg

That allows you to install two Xeon processors (core i7 et al won't run in parallel). You want as many cores/threads as possible, at the fastest clockspeed possible, to render quickly. The workstation I'm on now (Urania) has two X5675 Xeons, HyperThreaded hex-core at 3.06GHz, so twenty four render threads at 3.06GHz. Workstation/server motherboards also accept more RAM than regular desktops.

New workstations are very expensive, but you can buy enterprise hand-me-downs at reasonable prices. eBay, Newegg, and others sell these "refurb" used professional grade units.
