Hi, i am currently building a 3k - 4k gaming / workstation PC (10-20 % for games and 80% 3D modelling-animation_3Ds Max, Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop, UDK), this is my first time building a pc, so I need help in choosing the parts thanks.

This is so far what I am thinking getting:

-case:NZXT Phantom 530 White ATX Full Tower

-motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X79 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard or better?

-processor: Intel Core i7-4930K Ivy Bridge-E 3.4GHz LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor

-video card: EVGA 06G-P4-2791-KR GeForce GTX TITAN SuperClocked 6GB 384-bit GDDR5 or EVGA 04G-P4-2690-KR GeForce GTX 690 4GB 512-bit GDDR5

-Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

-HardDrive: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) and random 3 TB 3.5" HDD

-Power: CORSAIR HX Series HX1050 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready or CORSAIR AX860 860W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready (i dont know if they are compatible with the case)

-Cooling: I dont know if go with liquid cooling or regular heatsink cooling (case can instal up to 7 fans)

-OS: Windows 7 Professional 64Bit

-DVD Burner: ASUS 24X DVD Burner

This is my rig so far, it is very random, need help to make it better PLIZ thanks.

i would swap out the titan the prie just isnt justified the 780 will perform worse but not by a lot a 690 is outated now but is still better than a titan and i believe its cheaper or maybe two 770s would work well too. Also if you are going to be heavily over clocking and can afford it a custom watercooling loop can't be beat but you really need to know what your doing a high end closed loop system will be pretty good too or even a high end heatsink will be fine it depends on personal preference all of them will be fine providing you get a good quality product.
