I'm building a new PC from scratch but I can't decide on the processor.
The main purpose of the upgrade will be for 3D Modelling and Rendering (using Blender). I will also be running Adobe After Effects, Premiere and Photoshop CS5, although my main priority for efficiency is with Blender. I don't really play high end games.
I can't decide between:
Intel i5 2500(k)
Intel i7 2600(k)
AMD Phenom ii x6 1090T
AMD Phenom ii x6 1100T
Ideally I would like to spend around £150.
I also can't decide if I should wait for the Bulldozer to come out. I don't want to wait any longer than the start of October.
I will be running Windows 7 64-bit and for the time being I'm not planning to overclock, although this might possibly change in the future.
What is recommended?
I appreciate any advice.
