So I need help. I am somewhat familiar with building your average pc. I'm not really super knowledgeable, but I have built some pretty boss systems without any hiccups thus far. My dad runs an engineering and design firm that mostly uses solidworks among other design software. His company invests quite a bit into systems which are pretty lack luster to say the least. You know the kind... little ram, small hard drive, crappy gpu, but because its a business or "workstation" machine they charge an arm and a leg. His company is about to put about 5k into one system for special rendering tasks, in which they need more ram and just raw horsepower than anything. So since I have built a few computers myself, my dad has commissioned me to build a machine @ the same price point (5k) and then he'll compare the two. This is what Ive speced out so far on newegg...

Ive deliberately left out a psu, because honestly I have no idea where to begin. As you can see I have 24gb of ram and dual six-core processors (don't talk me down to quad core! ), so I know I'm gonna need something pretty beastly here, its the heart of the machine and needs to be 100% reliable.
My main goal is to absolutely build the fastest rendering machine within a 5k budget. Any and all suggestions welcome!
