That's an older chipset--is it within your budget to purchase a Nehalem-based system? Besides a generally faster architecture, you get faster DDR3 RAM.
Dual CPUs won't come into play much for modeling, just for rendering. I'd also look into purchasing at least 8GB of RAM (dual channel) or 6/12GB (triple channel) depending on which chipset you go with. It can really make the difference in complex renders.
Depending on the applications you're using, you might also want a higher spec video card or even a workstation card, again budget allowing.

I only have about 1500USD for this new computer so is there any better component? Can you list them all.

Thanks a lot for that.

This is $1729 and the machine I am probably getting pretty soon. I will be using it for rendering as well but mostly for Lightroom/Photoshop. It's also going to be my main everyday computer with some gaming.
