I have watched Linus build many computers and now that I have the money I want to build an All-Or-Nothing PC. The thing that confuses me is the compatibility between components. So far I have 

 

Processor: (i7-5960X)x2 $1000ea
Motherbord: Z10PE-D8 WS $565
SSD: (Samsung 850pro 1tb)x2 $500ea
Hard Drive: Seagate 6 TB Enterprise Capacity HDD SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST6000NM024) $350
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar Phoebus ROG Gaming Soundcard Set Sound Cards $320
Graphics Card: (AMD Sapphire Radeon R9 295X2)x4 $1800ea (2 in crossfire and the others for other screens, triple screens
Case: Cosmos II
 
Help finding 512gb 8DIMM DDR4 2133mhz Ram
 
Tell me if I am missing thing, lack compatibility or recommend something. I am looking to game but work as a 3D animator. My budget is unlimited as i will save what ever is necessary.
Thanks

Okay first of all, you don't need 2 I7 5960x CPUs, one will be fine. 

Second, you can't run 4x 295x2 GPUs, the 295x2 is a dual GPU card. and you can only run 4 GPUs in one system. 

5820k and two 980 Ti would be fine for you. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Good luck mounting the rads for those 295's, either get a custom loop or go for 6 titanx's or something (3 on each cpu)

you can run 4 because its dual cpu...

They want a stupidly overkill pc let them.

I'm fairly certain that you can only have one of those processors..If you need workstation grade..then go for Xeon.

Reading all of this again, I think it's spam. And being the fact that this account has one post..

unless your throwing 4 videos to render at the PC at once you dont need TWO 5960x's only a 5820k... or a 5930k, Pick your poison, a 980Ti and a SINGLE 5930k will be fine it should look something like this ; it would be more suitable for everything in general, judging what people have said, probably right. I'm doing this for the hell of it, No one would even think of putting 2 5960x's on one board.

the idea is Ludicrous. I also didn't sake prices into consideration b/c I knew that it would be well over 5000 judging by 2 5960x's and 2 R9 2 whatevers 

Oh if that wasn't enough just throw another 980Ti in there if you feel like waiting more money

I like this build but this posts point is for something stupidly overkill I make animations for frinds and family as well as work and my current pc which can run far cry 3 at 87 fps can still takes an hour to render my half hour animations and i usually render multiple at once. I have had this pc for a while and have upgraded it a few times but maybe the problem is not the hardware.

Also before you judge i used a pregenerated build and just did what the tutorial said.

Thank god and if your 100% serious about this, you'd want a Xeon E5, do a little Overclocking on the CPU to get it up to gaming standards, its still beyond overkill for all of this... I dont even know what Linus himself would say. I left out a sound card because they are really not necessary unless your into audio creation. To get the best gaming proformance your going to want to overclock the CPU, not the best idea for a Xeon because they're Xeons. But it should get the job done with a turbo frequency of 3.5GHz, not ever game will utilize all 10 core b/c they didn't intend games to be played on a Xeon, it will work, yes, just not as well as an i7
