Motherboard - ASUS Z9PA-D8 ATX ($347)

 

CPU - 2x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v2 ($649 each)

RAM - Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB ($319)

 

Video card - NVIDIA® Quadro® K4000 ($799)

 

SSD - Intel 335 Series Jay Crest SSDSC2CT240A4K5 2.5" 240GB ($169)

 

HDD - 2x HGST Deskstar NAS H3IKNAS40003272SN(0S03664) 4TB 7200 RPM ($184 each)

 

Wifi Card - Rosewill N900PCE Dual Band Wireless N900 ($32)

 

Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster Z ($104)

Please tell me what I could make better. (Cinema 4D uses CPU/s only)

The only problem with stepping up that far is that the K6000 costs more than this entire PC and it won't benefit me in Cinema 4D at all. The 8-core xeons are over $1000 when 2 Opteron 6376's are only $1400 together and give me 32 cores instead of the hyper threaded 16.
