500 dollar build suggestions?

[The Phoenix]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a 500 dollar build. Where can i find all the parts? and how much will they cost? Here are some things or features that I would like.
Now, I'm more of an animator, need lots of system resources. RAM, CPU, exc, I work with programs like CINEMA 4D, After effects, Sony Vegas. Also I like to game. But I would like a computer that can have fast rendering time, more CPU cores, faster CPU cores, and ram. A graphics card I'm not really worried about right now, I can buy one later on, and I have a lower grade graphics card right now that is OK for some games that i play. Now, I think that I could go with a AMD Processor, If you can (more cores pls) and 8GB and up is good. I would like a 1TB Hard drive that I can record 1080p videos with.(fraps) without shuddering. Like I said, my budget is 500 dollars, it doesn't really matter what brand that i get, as long as it does the job and it will last a long time. Intel, or AMD i really don't care. If you could do that, that would be amazing! Thanks!
