alexdbh :
@raisonjohn thank you for your answer. You saved me from buying a complete wrong configuration.
I took these two days to research. I would be grateful if you can make a list of parts for me. I decided to go without overclocking. Curent monitor I'm using is Asus VS197DE. I will buy two new monitors later depending on a budget i get from projects.
Maybe something like this but I leave it up to you. Every color is acceptable. Current budget for a whole thing is around 1200$.
Intel i7 4790
Asus B85M-G
2x8GB Kingston fury (16GB)
1TB Seagate Baracuda Sata III 7200
SSD Samsung Evo 850 120GB
Graphic card Gigabyte GTX960 2GB DDR5
PS 600W Cooler Master b600
Pc case MS Beast USB 3.0
You're very welcome!
Here is my suggested build that would very much cover your needs (taking into account your budget and future monitor upgrades).

Reasons for choosing the parts I changed from your initial selection:
CPU/MOBO:
Although you mentioned that you will not overclock, I still selected the
i7-4790K. Why? Because the current price difference against the i7-4790 is only
$33. With that amount, selecting the unlocked i7 gives you an
additional 400 MHz of clock speed, which I mentioned earlier that is
very crucial in the type of work you do, plus, it gives you the
future opportunity to overclock just in case you
might need it in the long run. As the saying goes,
it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Choosing the "k" version does
not mean that you "have to" overclock. You may still
opt to stick with the base clock speeds (which is faster than the base clock speed of the non-"k" version).
Consequently, I choose an affordable (at
$80.98) ASROck
Z97 motherboard (which supports overclocking - but again - don't "have to") compared to the older and yet more expensive (at
$89.79) Asus
B85M-G you initially selected. The Z97 (as well as the H97) boards would
erase any probable incompatibility issues associated with the Haswell-Refresh CPU's which might need BIOS updates if the older boards (i.e., the Z87, H87, H81, and B85) were manufactured prior to the release of the CPU you will receive from the shop.
STORAGE DRIVES:
Your choice of the Samsung 850 EVO 120GB is
good as that
SSD shows higher effective speed compared to other mainstream SSD's in the market today. However, I opted for the
250GB version (which is
comparatively faster and more efficient than the 120GB). This would give you
more room to store your frequently used applications (and your OS), thus, taking advantage of the faster read/write speeds compared to mechanical drives.
I changed your choice of the
HDD from the 1TB Seagate Barracuda to the
1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue. The Western Digital hard drives have
lower life-time failure rates compared to the hard drives manufactured by Seagate (some selected models but
not all).
GPU:
Originally, we were set to choose the GTX 960 GPU. But after you mentioned that you will be planning to purchase
2 additional monitors to add to your current 1080p monitor, I opted to get the
more powerful GTX 970 video card for your future needs. The GTX 970 is an
older card than the GTX 960 and thus, might
eliminate certain compatibility issues with older programs/applications that can take advantage of the GPU. I selected one of the
best cooling (low temperature), one of the
least noisy, but
fastest base clock speed non-reference card made by EVGA (the
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX 2.0).
PSU:
With the change in GPU, I selected a
high-quality/top-tiered and
affordable power supply unit (the
EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply). This PSU would be enough to power your entire rig as it is only recommended to have a 500W PSU for a build running a GTX 970. I selected a
Fully-Modular PSU so that you will
only attach the cords that you will need (this will
improve airflow and
eliminate the clutter in your case). I also chose a PSU with an
80+ Gold Efficiency Rating as this would be very
beneficial to your power consumption (
lesser electrical costs) when you are rendering large-format images that
might require you to run your PC 24/7.
CASE:
The case was meant to complement the entire Black/Blue theme parts of your entire rig. It has a window-side panel, USB 3.0 headers, and internal/external drive bays suitable for your needs.
You may choose a different OS or DVD/CD Writer if you prefer (or eliminate them if you already have those).
Note that if you decide on overclocking in the far future, an aftermarket cooler would be required. But since you don't plan to do this right away, the stock cooler that comes with the CPU would suffice.
Hope these information would help you in your final decision! Good luck!
