My budget in usd is about $2110

Ok in that case I would go without the 1070 for now if the cores are more important, you can always add another later or even grab an 1180 etc:

I do a lot of 3D modelling, 3D Rigging, 3D animation, 2D painting (yes, 2D as well), 3D texture painting, 3D Rendering, as well as a lot of gaming. For the rendering, I will need to be able to handle multiple clips from 2-15 minutes with characters, environments, textures, and animation, all in one render. These animations will have MILLIONS of polygons. I need to render them fast. At the same time, I would love to save a few bucks

So it seems you need a 5820k or a 6800k

[Electronics Wizardy]

what are you rendering with?

 

Id probably get a 7700k. Faster in everything but rendering, and its only about 10-20% slower, and if you really want to render fast, just get a render server.

5820k would be much better 

[NTDaws]

mmm idk if it was me probably 6800k

[VirusStorm]

Alright, I guess i'll go for the 5820k then! Thanks for all of your responses!

[TheGlenlivet]

 

This guy has some info for you on 170vs99.

Enjoy.

I do a lot of gaming and 3D rendering and modelling. Not sure if gsync is worth it in this case

[The Sloth]

6900k will help render better with 8 core , my suggestion is to got for the 6900k.

also gsync won't be worth it in modeling.

Gaming as well

[Oshino Shinobu]

Kind of depends on your workload split. If you're 3D rendering a lot more than gaming, going for the 6900K would be a good choice. If you're gaming more, 5820K is a good choice. For a 50-50 split, I would only go for the 6900K if you're getting paid for your 3D work. The 5820K will still do well for 3D work, but GSync makes a hell of a difference in games (provided you're not playing something like CS:GO, which is always over the refresh rate of your monitor.) 

 

EDIT: Also, would advise a single 1080 over SLI 1070s

[Droidbot]

fyi for the 5820k I'd suggest 1x1080 vs 2x1070s, sli is generally not well supported and has a lot of downsides. get the single fastest GPU you can imo. 

[VirusStorm]

But what about the monitors?

[AdamH96]

1440p 144hz, 1x 1080, 5820K. the 5820K give a good balance of gaming and 3D work and can always put in a broadwell CPU in later.

[Aytex]

Well whats a priotiry to you, gaming or your 3d rendering/modeling

 

If your 3d modeling isn't your job and if its just a hobby just get the dual 1070's  and a 7700k

[stealth80]

Didnt we answer this for you last week ? 

[stealth80]

Yup thought id already seen it and answered it, same as last time, 6950X aint worth in almost all cases - gsync if you game A LOT

 

Same answer as last time, go with a single 1070 for now, its more than fine for 1440P at the moment and add another later:

How would I go about setting up a quadro + geforce system? Im planning to put in an m2000 and a gtx 1070. One will be for gaming and one will be for 3D work. I will be getting a 6900k so you dont need to worry about pcie lanes

[Electronics Wizardy]

Just get a 1070 it will be much faster than the m2000 for almost any use. 

[VirusStorm]

Even for rendering?
