Hello guys,
I'm not a PC expert and I'd like to receive your precious help :) 

I want buy a new PC, to:
- use graphics programs such as Cinema 4D and After Effects.
- gaming (mainly the first point)

So, I'd like to have minimum rendering time, and also I'd like to play games without hassles.

Could you please tell what would be your best possible configuration for my budget?
Budget: 530/630£

Thank you very much for your time and help.
-i've the OS
-i've the monitor
-i don't have any other component
-i would assembly it myself

imo ,If your buying a cpu buy like I5 3470/3570 it may cost more ,but if you intend to save some money go for FX 6300,with FX 6300 you get "more bang for buck",and i think it's a smarter choice ;)  , also it will fit v well if your planning to get radeon hd 7850 / r9 270x etc

This computer looks to be in your price range, you could grab a better keyboard and mouse though, i chose the cheapest one i could find lol.

and if you want a slightly better gaming performance id say go with the 7870 or the xfx 7870 xt for a little more power, but I went with a Nvidia card since CUDA is supposed to be better for rendering things like you want.
