Have you considered going for an AMD kaveri based system? What you really need is not so much extreme power, but more like very fast communication between your components, and the shared memory between iGPU and CPU is just awesome for such tasks!

P.S.: Another added bonus is that many FM2+ board support 2400MHz memory... SPEEEEEED BABY! :D

Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X OR ASUS A88X-Pro
AMD A10 7850k
16GB Kingston Beast 2133MHz
If you plan to game: R7 250 DDR3 edition for dual graphics

At half the price... even less than that.

You can also try a WD purple hard drive and if you are insistant on budget you could now afford a big juicy SSD to go with. ;)

oooooh, now we're getting somewhere!

A big fat juicy CPU with lots of buffering capacity, preferably server grade,
At least 32gigs of fast ram with this budget,
a must have 500gig SSD,
A WD purple for storage which is designed for that kind of things in mind.
A graphics card with lots of video memory, but it doesn't need to be particularly fast.

I recommend Intel for this budget, which one exactly I will leave up to my buddies.

You can purchase the 4930k, half price and almost same speed (you will not notice the difference).

64GB Ram is better. The speed is not important, for rendering is better a faster CPU (render time with 1333 and 2400 is the same). The bigger scene that I made, need 32GB RAM.

If you want GPU rendering, go for 780ti 6GB (or Titan) in SLI, or if you can QuadSLI (if the motherboard can take 4 GPUs).

I´m working with MAX too, and my PC is capable of big scenarios in CPU rendering, except for GPU renders because my 780ti only have 3GB.
