Hello,

Primarily, this a render and post-processing computer. This computer would be running VRAY, Rhino, AutoCAD, and the whole CS Suite.

A first pass at computer parts are
CPU Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Combo or $579.99
CPU Cooler Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid $94.99
Memory G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 $310.98
Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD $169.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Combo or $84.99
Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Superclocked ACX $479.99
Case Corsair 600T Mesh (Black) ATX Mid Tower $153.99
Power Supply Corsair 750W ATX12V / EPS12V $139.95
Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer $19.98
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) $89.98


Is this alright for the intended use? Or are there parts I can swap out for better and faster performance.

I could use a professional graphics card like k2000, k4000 but I was reading that the programs I use (vray especially) is more about CPU rendering, so I need to focus on the cpu instead of the gpu.
is this true?

thanks

Hello. I am a vray user too. If you want make fast previews in Vray RT your GPU is fine, more shaders is better (780ti), but with only 3GB you cannot load in vram large scenarios, better a 780 6GB. Or a Titan... but too much expensive.
Quadro provides a better speed in the 4 windows of the MAX (if you uses 3DS MAX), you can make a much more complex scenarios, and still have good framerate to work. But they are a lot expensive, Better go for a 780 6GB and use the nitrous driver of MAX.

If you only do Vray by CPU then a 4930k is best solution, yes. A 4960k is too much expensive for only a few MHZs. You can OC the 4930k.

I have a Asus P9X79pro, and is very good for OC and stability (It is not the cheapest, but not the most expensive) but...
