I'm completely lost. I need help! :(

Hey everyone, what's up?

I'm building a new computer for graphic designing and animations purpose. I use C4D a lot with plugins which makes it too heavy to use sometimes and it gets heavier every time I develop my skills. now I'm building a new computer, I'm building it for temporary use till I get a rendering server perhaps or once I get a serious income from my work :\.
I sort of bought everything that I need to run my new build butt I'm so confused about one thing left which it's important for the build.
first off, here's the specs of the new build.

CPU: Intel 5820k 
MB: MSI X99A SLI PLUS
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000
Cooler System: Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX 280mm Extreme Performance


as you may notice, the list is missing the important pieces for my purpose which is the GPU and the PS, I was thinking to buy Titan X or maybe 2x GTX 980Ti "butt" there's the new graphic card that can beat both which is the GTX 1080 and the new Titan X that shall be named The Titan XP  "Goddammit linus, you are somewhat a genius"  or the old Titan X to maybe save money?? IDK.
or a workstation card which it's impossible due to the huge price and bottleneck the CPU performance.


Anyway, I feel so down of having a very powerful PC that can render things that I do in a short amount of time, it's totally impossible due to my lack of knowledge of building a powerful PC and saving money...
so all what I'm asking to short things out is:
- What is the perfect graphic card that I could use for this build?
- And what is the perfect PC build that I can make it for C4D in ~future~ that could render stuff like a beast with a possible low cost?

I would be really thankful if someone helped, thanks for reading.

Go with the Titan X as there is no performance gains with the Titan XP for what you will be doing. For the PSU, get an EVGA G2 850w, will power your rig flawlessly.

realistically, I would get a firepro/quadro card for this as they are certified for this kind of work. Titans have become more of a gaming card as they dropped the double precision floating point performance after Kepler. If you are so inclined to get a titan, I would suggest a 980 ti instead, it would be similar enough in performance to the titan and given the launch of pascal, you should get one for practically peanuts.

i would go with the original Titan if you want to save your cash, its still a good card, possiably a bit under powered for this but were i live you could get 2 of them for less then the cost of a single 980TI if you buy them used and know were to look for them and when to look for them, anyway i would go for a Titan X if you have the cash tho because Quadros are silly expensive for what you get

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

I did know that Titan XP won't performance well with this build as I won't use it fully.
thanks for telling me as I wasn't sure at all.

@Darel321

@LordGabeNisBae
I was thinking like that as well, but I'm not sure about it!
there's many options to pick and I have [0%] knowledge about the performance that could serve my purpose.
put in mind, not all CAD graphic cards are equally as animations or computer graphic card purposes. so most of Quadro editions are for engineering purpose to be specific. And about the FirePro products or AMD, I don't think so, nope lol.
so what nvidia Quadro card that I should go with this build? lemme know
but please, not an EXPENSIVE one, I'm not rich ;-;. 


@Bananasplit_00
I was thinking to buy more than one Titan X as that the only reason for me to buy it is for many Titan X rather than one, but again as I have been told before I may have a lot of problems with SLI things and I'm just simply "an idiot" when it comes to using multiple graphic cards or overclocking them, I'm never gonna do it again. but thanks for giving me a hope of finding cheap Titan X :) .

Well go with the best one that fits your budget, no point underspending or overspending. I am looking at Australian prices but something like a quadro M5000 should fall in the budget for 2 titan X's. this card is a "cough cough" 'midrange' quadro, so yeah the price/performance is whack but titan Xs still cost 1700+ down here so the prices might be better in the US

@LordGabeNisBae
I guess you are right about the workstation cards, they are performance well for my purpose and it's cheaper than 2x Titan X 
I'll go with Nvidia Q M4000 or M5000, depends in my budget.
All I need now is some serious references about the card performance and benchmark in C4D and I guess google might help to explain more for my part.

Thanks for your help
