I am not new to building computers. I have a build right now that gets the animation side of the job done, but fails at the rendering part. I am looking for a build that will give me the ability to render pretty big things such as whole animation with medium to high poly count and be able to game of course, but I also work in unreal and different gaming engines as well as other programs so I need it to be able to handle all of that. I have looked into certain builds and even the ones my school has but I haven't found anything that isn't insanely priced by that I mean I have only found 5k and above I am looking for something a little lower and still powerful!

Current build: CPU: AMD Anthlon 750 fm2
GPU: GeForce 970
RAM: DDR 2 Crucial 4x 2 (I think. its ddr2 or 3 im not sure)
Motherboiard: Msi - fm2-a75ma-e35
Power suplply: Thermaltake Smart 650w (because my 750w burned out)

I have fans in there and what not but yeah. I built this while in high school with no job and now I am in college and have a decent paying job and it has helped me through college so far but its starting to drag a little and I would like to have a computer with more power so I could use both and accomplish things faster. I will be using these programs: Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, Unity, Adobe Suit, and a few other gaming engines I also code a little too and I know some programs and or games get pretty intensive so yeah. I know I am looking for a lot and not trying to spend a lot but I just want to see it from different angles before I spend the money. Thank you in advance for all of the help!

5k? Maybe if it has one of the 12 core CPUs in it. Anyways this would be much more powerful than your current build.
