Phenom II X4 955 + Gigabyte 880GM USB3.0 + 2x2GB G. Skill Ripjaws X + Radeon HD 5670 1GB rest config same.............. Will cost about 32k....

Yugendra - at 30-35k AMD is the way to go...

Since the apps mentioned by OP are highly multi-threaded I think an AMD 6 core or i5 2400 is better option here due to the 6 physical cores of Phenom Ii X6 and 4 physical and advanced cores of i5 2400.i3 2100 is better in gaming but Phenom II X4 955 performs better than it in Multithreaded apps.

So just updating d6bmg's config:-

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 7.5K
MSI 880G-E35 @ 3.5K
MSI/Sapphire HD 6670 1 GB GDDR5 @ 5.3K

Rest of the configs will be same.

@ Clius: why are you downgrading graphics card to 6670?? :unsure:

Won't it cause any problem in rendering 3ds-max?

^^Not really. Gaming and 3D animation rendering in a Gaming card is different business. So using a 6670 or HD 6770 won't make that much of performance difference compared to reduced performance in gaming.

6670(480 SP) dont make any sense..... for 5.3k when u can get HD 6750(720 SP) for about 5.7k which is only 400/- more....... ;)

d6bmg - it wont make even 0.01% difference... catalyst doesn't handle professional apps.... for that u have to buy a FirePro card.

Ok, thanks for explaining Cilus.
@$$Lionking$$: firepro cards are very good as they are only made for professional purposes, but are overpriced, so here in this case its beyond the reach of OP.
