Hi guys,
My sister is a 3D VFX artist and whilst she's not working at her company's machines she has been using an aging Applle Mac desktop to handle any home workloads. I think she's now requiring the use of programs that can't be ran on Mac OS and the Mac itself is getting long in the teeth.
What specs would you guys recommend to run these programs efficiently?

I'm going to assume an nVidia gpu with CUDA is a good idea? Would a piledriver actually outperform an ivybridge in these kind of tasks? What sort of budget am I looking at spending? (She's asking how much a build might be, I would expect between £700-1000 is her limit)
Cheers for any help guys!
