you dont need an i7 5960x an i5 will be fine, you dont need 32GB of ram 16GB will be more than you need change the psu to a lower wattage psu and i recommend the evga g2 psu, and get a 980 ti instead of the titan x

How about this instead? Titan X and 5960x are overkill.

Honestly, if you're going for 4k I would probably go with the Fury X GPUs. Sure it has a bit less VRAM than the 980ti, but it's more powerful at 4k. You also don't really need to go haswell-e. This is what I'd do:
