New machine for 3d modelling/animating in Blender Cycles?

[pancreasboy]

Hey there, I work as a 3d modeler/animator using Blender and it's Cycles rendering engine (see my site here www.twistedpancreas.com) and I'm not too up to speed on hardware but I do know I have to stick to a nVidia card/s which only work with the Cycles render.

I've been quoted this for a new PC, and was wondering if it's a good deal (in $AU).

Thanks in advance.

Hey,

You didnt include the quote in the post. Whats your budget?

And probably around the 3-4k $AU price range.

Any recommendations on a monitor and wireless mouse I should also get with my new computer? I only need the one monitor since I already have one, and I had a good wireless mouse with work years ago which came with it's own charger which also held the mouse whilst it charged. Anything I should be checking out these days?
