My friend wants to build a multi purpose rig for himself... and he wants to build the most powerful rig which can last atleast for four years... tried to convince him that an i5 ivy bridge processor based rig would suffice for his usage but he is adamant that he wants an i7 processor in his rig as he would be doing some kinda animation course in the future... I could have suggested him a config as per his needs but thought that it would be better if i would take advices from you guys....

Thanks in advance guys... keep up the good work :)

I know for some stupid reason it does not allow me to tag @Hades.

I am leaving miscellaneous details like mouse and all upto the OP. I am sure he and his friend can get whatever is appropriate without us badgering about it. Same with audio peripherals.

Why are you suggesting such an old config.,Games are going to be more demanding in a few months, after launch of next gen consoles.
Even bioshock infinite is demanding one.
I5 3570 costs the same as i5 2500k,and is much faster.
