Best bang for your buck IMHO will be Q6600 quad core --something like this:

Q6600 (not overclocking -- yet)
WD1500ADFD Raptor 150gig 10000 rpm boot drive (boots Vista in 40 seconds. opens Vegas in less than 5 seconds).
WD5000AAKS Sata2 500 gig 7200 rpm data drive
WinVista Home Premium 64bit
Antec Solo Case
Antec Neo HE 550 power supply
OCZ 4gb PC6400 800mhz Special Ops Ram
Gigabyte Mainboard P35C-DS3R (ready for Penryn)
Gigabyte Video card 8500GT (no fan)
Lite-on SATA 20x DVD burner

Oh sorry --- that's my computer spec that I just built ... whoops ..
But you get the idea -- Intel Quad core is the way to go

T'all depends on how much moolah-budget you got, too :) Stating general allocation for this may give you more precise and applicable recommendations here.

A spicy system, to say the least, but I've been poking around a bit for a less expensive setup that doesn't compromise rendering times. It looks like a P965 mobo ($125) with an OC'd 2160 Core Duo ($89) would keep up in the rendering arena at a fraction of the cost of the quad system. And you could always upgrade the processor when prices come down a bit . . .
