Here, I included the case becaue the Mobo is an EATX, I wasn't sure if your case supported it. Also, I went with the EVGA X79 Dark over Haswell and Rampage IV Extreme, is because your doing 3D Animation, and its more future proof then Haswell, all you would need to do is upgrade your Video Card.

EDIT: Don't bother overclocking with the Hyper 212 Evo.
1.) It doesn't cool the 4930K enough to overclock.
2.) 6 Cores, why would you need to overclock that? Lol

Wow thats a really great rig set up! Future proof is definitely what I was seeking as well. Its hard to do that. I really didn't want to have to Overclock either. Thanks a million!

No Problem! Also, if you don't want to remove the matrix, you can buy another Matrix and CrossfireX it in the future :)

Note: PCI-E 4.0 is coming out in July I think, but when PCI-E 3.0 came out, it was backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 2.0 was plenty of bandwidth. So you won't have to upgrade your Motherboard or CPU for another 5+ Years, as PCI-E 3.0 will be plenty of Bandwidth.

I was wondering about that. As i really needed to Build this PC now, as my old one is on its last leg. ANd I know PCI-E 4.0 was coming as well as Intels new architecture. I would have waited really couldn't. I'm just getting started anyway so this will be powerful enough to hld me down.

Don't worry about PCI-E 4.0, as I said before, PCI-E 3.0 will be plenty of bandwidth for future video cards :)
