You should go for a 5820K (needs DDR4, and X99 MoBo), or a 4790K (Needs a Z97 MoBo).

I'd probably go with a slightly bigger drive (2/3tb are not that much more expensive) and maybe a better PSU like Silverstone X or eVGA G2.

if it's a workstation build, you're gonna want 16gb of memory.

Instead of getting a sound card use a DAC
