Do you need peripherals as well? (monitor, keyboard, mouse) 

 

4790k

8GB or more ram

500GB SSD (you can get away with less but 500GB drives are very affordable right now)

Water cooler (all in one)

600watt+ psu

GTX 980

 

Board and case are dependent on your personal preference, do you want small and compact but with limited expansion or larger with room to grow?

There you have it. This beast should last you quite a while. You can add even more storage later. You could also add more RAM if you are really heavy on the rendering.

I build this with a rough idea what you are going to do with this pc.

 

I chose an GTX980 above dual 970's as matx motherboards only have 2 pcie x16 lanes. So you can add another GTX980 in the future (the PSU supports that)
