1500 euro range, Animation & Gaming rig help ?

[AnimationMan]

Hello,

I am a Animator and suprise suprise i love pc gaming aswell, Im not really up to date on pc's and computer part's, So i am looking for some help and recommendations.
Soon i starting work on a feature film so i might be working when im at home so i need a computer that can handle all the 3D animation i will be doing in maya, Now
I was previously working on a laptop which was fine for a while but it seems to have really burnt out my laptop this year. I know that 3d animation applications use
the processor and not a graphics card when im working. And my laptop would really start to over heat and get really loud when i was working which i found very
distracting.

Now i also want a computer that i can use as a gaming rig, but ive really no clue what to look for here. Is their any cpmputer which would fit these needs on this website ?
Ive no clue what to look for when im picking part's. Also need i require a monitor with this aswell.

Any suggestions advise before i part with some cash thanks.

Hello,
What kind of games are you planning to run? And size of monitor?

[AnimationMan]

Games like Guildwars 2, Skyrim those type of game's id like to be able to play with the setting fairly high im a fan of eye candy. 22 inch monitor would be fine i think.

Cool thanks for the help, much appreciated.

[keynes]

No problem
I'd rush though, as things are, the euro is expected to continue to fall against the £.
