Hey guys, im not that knowledgeable with PCs and i was wondering if you guys can help me out, i have two things i can do right now, i can either build a PC, or buy one and upgrade it, ill list them in order, and if this isnt int the correct spot, could a staff member move it please.

Build:
things im looking for,
1.i just want a video rendering PC doubling as a gaming pc, but mostly rendering, so a 4gb GPU would be very usefull.
2. Fairly fast processor, Ram isnt an issue with 8-16 thats about it.
3. ~$900-~1100

Build: Intel Core i5-4590, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770, NZXT Phantom (Black/Orange) - System Build - PCPartPicker
Comments: maybe you could take down the case a little bit and that extra $~20-$40 could make for a better motherboard, or some more ram,

Buy Then Upgrade:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acer-Intel-i7-4770-3-4GHz-Deskt... I was thinking about this, the 32 gb of ram and the processor caught my eye, but for my purpose i would have to give it a GPU since it doesnt have one, that would put me at around $1000 anyway, but leave your comments
Thanks.

If you are doing rendered then get yourself an internal destination drive so that your main drive wont have to read and write at the same time. Depending on your processors ability this will almost double the rate of frames you can process. The drive doesnt have to be large, but just as fast as your main drive, you can move the finished job off the destination drive when done.
