Some may scoff at an FX-8350 build, but this build is very similar to my own computer, and it is very good at 3D modelling/rendering. Note that I do have a GTX Titan Black, but the 8350 still has very good performance for the price!

Heres what I could come up with around $1300

You probably dont need SLI for this build, but if you ever plan to dominate, I suggest upgrading your PSU to a Corsair AX860 or AX860i

Heres what you asked for with a cherry on top!
