@MightyHammer welcome to the forums and please read the CoC you can't advertise yourself here sorry.

 

I'd recommend going for a 4690k since it's also cheaper(not sure) and get an ssd the performance benefits are worth it and they're getting cheaper

From your channel I can see that mainly you use AE and little of 3ds max. The more cores you will have the quicker rendering times will be, but as for just 15 sec intros everything in your build is great. If you will go beyond the 15 seconds or maybe very scaled models in 3dsmax would recommend getting more ram, maybe ssd but it's not deadly needed
