Hi
I am willing to have a professional workstation for my work which is animationand VFX, i need to use 3Ds Max, fumefx and Realflow, i have tried to write a configuration just confused in its compatibility and searching for more appropriate parts for it right now my budget is $2000 but want a workstation that can to be enhanced later on
the configuration is here on :

Processor 2 X Intel Xeon E5 2620v3 2.40 Ghz
Motherboard Supermicro X10DAi
GPU MSI Nvidia Gtx 970 256 bit 4 gb
RAM 4X 8Gb 32gb DDR4 ECC

And need suggestions for Chassis and Power supply

Which company would be best for RAM?

Can i use single processor on dual processor motherboard right now?

Thanks

Socket R3 CPU’s have four memory channels and for best performance it’s recommended to have a minimum of one DIMM in per channel. Intel no longer supports UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMM) memory on the E5-2600 v3 platform.

It is supported however refer to the documentation for which ram slots and card slots are not activated with only the one CPU.

Important Chassis Notes To support the new generation Intel Xeon processor-based motherboards, Revision M chassis is recommended. Please talk to your Supermicro sales representative for details.

Some people use Extended-ATX form factor PC cases and have had to slightly modify the cases for it to fit. Power supply would also be different sizes depending on the case chosen.
