Intel Xeon E5-2670 is better for rendering.
It has 8 cores and is based on sandy bridge architecture.

I am waiting for your answer and I would like to know if its worth it. I will start learning special effects and post production stuffs. Until know I have learn 3D modeling and texturing and know I will make a small 3D designing company and this is why I need a fast rendering machine.

Thanks you
