I happy with my current stuff, I have a 2014 Razor blackwidow, and a steel series sensi raw, along with a Blue Snowball for dedicated mic, and Some afterglow headsets for mic when moble and listing. I also have plenty of External harddrives.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Oh my god I love you for the outline. The only thing I would change is the CPU cooler for something like a Cooler Master 240M.

Welcome to the forum  .

Since you seem to work a lot with 3D rendering, I would suggest to go with X99. More cores are always better for that usage scenario. 

Here's what I came up with:
