how often will you be rendering? even a 5820k/6800k will do the job.....

There's certainly nothing that I would change, or that screams at me as far as a high end gaming/workstation rig goes.

There's obviously other components I would aim for, but only really because I have different requirements when it comes to a workstation build for the work that I do.

 

You won't have some higher ended rendering features only using consumer grade cards like that, but I don't think that will be a problem. There are also better value xeons out there as opposed to the honestly overpriced 5960x, but again you have to go down a pretty separate path of thought to get em within a setup like that, so its forgivable.

 

All in all, nothing really I would change, there's no glaring problems, all nit-picky personal things that I would change based purely on personal preferences.

nah, 5960x isnt even worth it imho... a 5820k or 6800k will be enough.

well since you said that, the 5960x will be better obviously.
