First pc build

So this is my first time posting and I just wanted to get any opinions on a setup I have designed. My budget is a max of $5000 AUD and the aim is for gaming, content creation (video editing and game creation-udk) and streaming, I want to be able to run 4K games and have plenty of overclocking room. Before you say anything yes I know a 4770K or 4790K would be much better for gaming but I want to be able to render out a 20-30 minute video in under 1.5 hours, my main problem areas have been cpu cooling and motherboard so any help with that would be greatly appreciated. Also I plan to have 2 4K monitors. I dont need any peripherals.

- Change CPU to 5820k, you don't need 40 lanes

- Change board to something cheaper like the Asus X99-A

- Change RAM to 16GB and get another 16GB later

- Change the GPU's to double GTX 980

- Change the PSU to EVGA G2 750W

 

This is what I would do

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
