The closest I can get is just over £600 with the quickest quad core. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3285/basketn.jpg

Would I notice even more of a difference if I put £50 more towards it and get a i7 setup? Or is that quad core equal to an i7 CPU?

When I say rendering I mean video rendering and not 3DMax rendering. As far as I've seen so far Sony Vegas is mainly CPU and RAM intensive. Normally when my video card has to do any work the fan normally spins up and makes lots of noise. So far when using Sony Vegas the GPU fan has not kicked in once.
