what do you thing of this build? this computer will be used for things like Maya( may switch to MODO with Poser), substance designer, unreal engine 4, Photoshop, zbrush and i would also like to play all the latest games on it as well (hoping for a good sale price for shadow of mordor during the steam holiday sale lol :P) and i like to play with all the settings on max.my budget is $6,000 and I'm look to get it on boxing day hopefully get some good deals.i want to get as good as i can get but with out bottle necks or buying things that i would never use or have use for example ( a person how only uses there pc to serf the net and use word having a 4 gtx 980 with 64 gb of ram and a 5960 cpu way overkill for what they use). i want to buy thing that i need and would have use for. so if you see any parts that are overkill or see a potential bottleneck let me know if you think i should change a part for a better a better part. i would also like to overclock this build and i do not know if the cooler is good one for overclock the cpu. or even if you think that there is a better case for the build i want the system to be cool and quit as possible. i want to use the ssd for my software and my work and the hdd for my steam games do you think i should do something different?  thanks for your time hope all of you can help.

 

p.s this is the Canadian price

DANG. 

 

I might have some tips for you if you really want some. Use your SSD for OS, active projects and frequently used programs, and use your HDD for storing downloads, older project files, scarcely used programs, etc. Also I think you should get a better CPU cooler; something like the SwiftTech H240-X, or the NZXT Kraken X61. The H100i is by no means bad, but I don't think it does justice to a 5960X. Also maybe add some Noctua fans for improved temps? Again, in a build like this there's gotta be some decent fans at least, or at least in my opinion..

 

But that's a seriously good build. I'm so jealous...I'm trying to run Maya on a laptop i5 with a HD4600...(obviously it runs VERY well)

My build: tis be ordered

OS: Windows 8.1, trust me it's great

Monitor: Prehaps a 4K one (with g-sync?)

Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB

Fans: Noctuas duh (as @Sadistic_Poato said)

and no im not trolling and im going with an ips panel because of the work i do and what are the diffrentses of Asus RAMPAGE V EXTREME and the Asus X99 deluxe because im new to overclocking the most i have done is set my ram to xmp 2 and cpu overclock to level 3, so i need something that i can use to easily overclock

Noctua NF-A14's for 140mm, and NF-F12's for 120mm. If you really wanna go overkill, you can get the industrial versions of those fans. 

My build: tis be ordered

It's better looking, rampage is a bit overpriced. overclocks depend on the silicon of the cpu

how many fans will i need

As much as the case holds

 

what features will i lose and what will i gain

Linus said that Rampage V has it all, every Asus feature in one board but  it's maybe a bit expensive . It's actually pretty cheap. Well I like the X99 Deluxe more, it's what color you like

color dos not matter with me its about im going to be able to OC it easily because im still a beginner and i only know vary little when it comes to OC and that there are no bottlenecks but i dont not want to spend money on things that are overkill or i will not use i really dont know the diffracts between the 2 motherboards if the only difference is some features that i will not use then there is no need for me to get it i would like to spend less that's why im on here to get help to make shear im getting what i need and not spending money on this that i will not use or get use out of.

There will be no bottlenecks, even a oc'd i5 4960k could handle 2x 980. Well, your PSU is a bit overkilled with 1000 watts but headroom is great. Anyways, if you can go with a Rampage V, becouse it has all the bells and whistles from ASUS
