If you dont want to build it yourself look into a company that put together custom pcs for you, it will still be cheaper and you can choose what you want.
This is the type of spec you want for a mega high end machine, costing £940 -
You'd just need to up the RAM for your needs - BUT remember memory bandwidth channels.
i7 920 / 930/ 950 - triple memory bandwidth (ie 3 ram sticks are best*)
i5 2500k - dual memory bandwidth (ie 2 ram sticks are best*)
i5 2600k - dual memory bandwidth (ie 2 ram sticks are best*)
*for optimum performance.
its also known as 'DIMM', ie 8GB of ram 2 dimm = 8GB split across 2 slots = 2x4gb sticks.8GB would be sufficient for even 3D and video editing.
It has a fantastic graphics card which you could cut out if you dont intend to do any gaming to save money too.
and throw in a SSD drive. WINNER.
