Desktop for 3D development (Maya etc.)

Not for me, but I may end up paying for it as the current laptop is sick. I'm just doing some background work on the budget and spec needed.
What sort of spec will be needed for this? It's for a student degree course developing using Maya, ZBrush etc. Budget isn't fixed, but hopefully not more than around 1-1.25K, unless some nice person tells me it can be done for a lot less (I'm not holding my breath!)
Is there a link to a pre-configured spec that could be used for such a desktop?

Will need a monitor as well, though that was planned sooner anyway.


Many thanks.
