Hello friend,

It's really nice to know that you are doing animation, but to provide you the exact configuration that will be needed for you as per your requirement. You have to let us know what is your basic applications that you work with like maya,etc.
Second important thing is your budget. How much you are willing to spend?(I know you said minimum). Since you have a nice option assembling your system with second hand components.

Animation student is my neighbour. Now he learning MAYA and 3D max. Our concept is an good motherboard ( suitable for latest intel processors and ram) and a low cost processor for his study level.

Here is the best Configuration for animation work

• Motherboard go for Intel DG33 / DG35 / ASUS P5Q WS/P5E Deluxe
• NVIDIA 8800GT/9800GTS graphics card of minimum 512MB/1GB dedicated memory.
• Processor-intel core 2 duo 2.8GHz
• Cooler master 450W or more
• 2GB DDR2 RAM, go for 800MHz or you can put 667MHz.

I think the first configuration will be suitable for you : PC configurations reference for October 2008

You should go with AMD processor , if you are looking for a decent PC for animation .
