For the last three years I've been doing my animation studies on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It did the work just fine and it even rendered some projects (with a help of a home ventilator keeping it cool). After three years it decided it's too much for him to run Autodesk Maya ... it almost burned the processor...So I decided it's time to get serious and invesed in a PC geared for animation. I set down with a friend and we pulled together the ingredients keeping cost in mind. I know how much of a pain it can be to choose the hardware, at least it is for me, there is just so many options and honestly....who really wants to understand what are the differences... and anyways it's all chinese?!!?!.
So here is what I got and it is working great.
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D
Processor: Inter Core i5 750 Tray
4GB Memory
Graphic Card: SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 5750 1 GB DDR5 PCI-E
Hard disk: 1T WD 1002FAEX
Op System: Windows 7 64-bit
In addition, I've got a student license for the brand new Autodesk Maya 2011. It's very slick...

I wouldn't get the Asus Motherborad simply cos it's hard to overclock you i5 750 (over clocked can get you close to 4.0 ghtz easy :) ) , giga byte have some very good borad with software over clock ( one click over clock solution for dummies : ))
Hey Roei, thanks for the advice. I found some guides and you are right it's not exactly for dummies....:)
