Default Help with school build!

In my computers and robotics class we are to find upgrades that we are to then put into a computer our instructor has.
Requirements:Good for animation work, as close to $750 as possible!, fits in a XION 2 XON case(no huge vid cards), and needs cpu power not a great video card.
Needs: Mobo, cpu, video card, power supply, and ram, NOTHING ELSE IS NEEDED!
Also: nVidia card because my instructor likes their drivers.

4 or 8 GBs of ram, for animation.
Maybe a Quad, if you need that much power...

8 gigs of ram, and a Q6600 for sure if it is going to be used for animation.
