Help with building a tower
kitamesume:
for reference point, an i3-2100 is in between AMD phenom II x4 840 and AMD phenom II x4 955, an i5-2300(this can be overclocked via turbo mode by up to 3.5ghz) is just right in between AMD Phenom II X6 1055T and AMD Phenom II X6 1075T cpubenchmark - high end cpus.
so i highly suggest to wait for bulldozer, or sure go buy your phenom and be done with it, theres nothing bad about buying an old model, even i bought an LGA775 combo a year ago :D(what? it had a mad deal on it)

It's gotta be 1080p anime + gaming.

Yeah, really. But yeah, I'm going to be doing some graphic work as well. Some video editing, and photoshop.

Guess while we're at it, please mention which country ..? If USA, we can assume websites like newegg; otherwise it'll help to know which locality the budget will be spent in.
How fast do you want to do this? If you have 4-6 or 8 weeks, you can get the parts as they come on special and shave costs down, but you need to check 2 or 3 websites daily and know to buy immediately when you see the Good Deal. If you need to buy it faster, you can lose ~$100 by missing deals.

I'm not in a hurry. And I'm not gunna go too crazy with overclocking. 3.8 GHz will probably cut it.

ohh? seriously? then a simple quad(athlon II X4) + HD6670 just fit your requirements, ohh and an SSD is a must for you, you`ll need fast response.
edit: add in the option of getting a phenom II X4 840... but no, seriously, wait for a 2module bulldozer. should be out by september.

SSD on that budget?
Maybe a bit later.
What software do you plan on doing your graphics with?
Better find a brand, red or green, that works nicely with it. :P
