  Graphics card plays major role in graphics rendering system.
  Have you selected graphics card? If yes, then tell us it's details about PCIe slot & we'll suggest motherboard supporting it.
  
  PS : Nvidia's cards with specific CUDA cores or quadro 5000/6000 series(or any mid to highend quadro series) are designed for specific graphics rendering purpose.

  if you can stractch your budget by 10k you can build very good high end machine.
  See #-Link-Snipped-#, you might get some idea.
  
  For a graphics rendering , Get this #-Link-Snipped-# processor with compatible and latest Asus motherboard with Corsair 600w PSU/500 would also works find with mid range graphics cars. Don't compromise with quality of CPU+Motherboard+PSU components.
  Why 600w PSU: you might upgrade your graphics card/CPU in future.

  Here is the issue !! I am just starting from a scratch . Isnt there an issue with AMD processor and macintosh ? I read somewhere they don't go along well ..
  If that is the case , Intel would be a good choice as I like to have multiple OS .

  You mean hackintosh, right?
  Well, there are not any heavy issues but there are certain steps to be followed for successful installation.
  
  I am huge fan of AMD when it comes to gaming, but for graphics workstation intel's processor & Overclockable Asus or ASRock motherboard is smart choice.
  
  PS : Without good CUDA cores graphics card, or Nvidia's quadro FX cards or ATI's Firepro gfx card, your workstation is nothing but a gaming station. You will need Quadro or Firepro card or CUDA cores card for better performance.
  I recommend Quadro FX series by Nvidia.
