Rendering Rig

[Spaghettie1]

Hey all,

So i want to build a low cost, but **decent** video rendering rig so I don't have to use my gaming rig with all its processes slowing it down. What would be a good layout of parts? I was thinking of going for AMD because they're cheaper and run well. For the GPU, if I did a crossfire configuration of various GTX 600 (or below 600 if it'll perform ok) series could that work for rendering? I have a 128GB SSD and a 400Gb HDD. I was thinking about getting 12 to 16GB or ram if I can get it for a good price. Power supply will be the last thing I plan, for I don't know how big of one I'll need yet. Any advice is useful.

Thanks!

What's your budget?

Probably should of mentioned that! My budget is about $500. I also failed mention I already have a mid tower case that will fit most form factors. This doesn't have to be a ATX board too.
