Exactly which xeon's are you going to use? What is your budget, also I would reccomend a geforce card over a quadro card for 3ds max.

thank you Apprentice for your reply . i dont have exact budget . abt xeons its Intel® Xeon® Processor X5650 . i already experience geforce 9800 GT im running now with a lot of bugs when im working with heavy scene. thanks

So dual x5650's would be around $1800..............and then you would have to get the other parts.... Seems like you are looking around a 3000-4000 dollar build.
