Hi there!
I have been looking for a suitable workstation withing price range of $1500 keeping in view the smooth performance of the following softwares:
1) HD editing (Premier CS6)
2) 3D rendering (Cinema4D, 3DMax, After Effects cc, Real Flow)

Note: Most importantly the workstation should be able to work in the misty weather.
