I would recommend an AMD CPU for this build. It's more optimized for Maya plus gaming performance is still great, and you'll save money for better components elsewhere.

i like ur config,actually i selected those combination....

 Asus P9X79-E WS is a CEB form factor ..can it mount in a ATX case???

the ceb form factor is a difficult form factor to find a case for. if you could, i would go with this motherboard instead http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivextreme. the only reason i chose the p9x79ews is because you said you already picked the motherboard. EATX is allot easier to find a case for. A corsair 750d would work with this build great

Case: Phanteks Evolve X with ITX mount  cpu: Ryzen 3900X 4.35ghz all cores Motherboard: MSI X570 Unify gpu: EVGA 1070 SC  psu: Phanteks revolt x 1200W Memory: 64GB Kingston Hyper X oc'd to 3600mhz ssd: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB ITX System CPU: 4670k  Motherboard: some cheap asus h87 Ram: 16gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz

Possibly. CEB shares moutning holes with ATX but are larger and have different cpu mounting holes. You'd want to make sure the case has more room than a normal ATX case to accommodate for the size.
