Looking to spend about 3K on a computer I have a monitor ,mouse ,keyboard and speakers so I'm looking for something that can power like 2 games at once and a lot of multi tasking.... Getting really to learn c++ and game hacking so I need a computer that can handle that and probably at least a 1 or 2 tb hard drive and a pretty good small solid state hard drive thanks for the help

I suggest i7 5820K six-core hyperthreaded processor, 16 or 32GB of DDR4 2666Mhz+ RAM, Asus X99 Deluxe motherboard, GTX 780Ti or GTX 980 depending on price and possibly add in a second one in SLI. Any Western digital HDD and a decent Samsung 840 EVO or Intel SSD.

i7 5960X is total overkill as you can happily run two card SLI on the 28-lane i7 5930X without any sort of bottleneck.
Two cards running at x8 on Gen 3 PCI-e slots is the same as x16 Gen 2 PCI-e slots! More bandwidth than GPUs currently need!

Save some money on that and get the Cooler Master Nepton 240M! Very quiet and great performing AIO liquid cooler.
