[SOLVED] 2950x Workstation Build Help

[Rafazc]

Hey guys!
I have to upgrade my workstation and I really need some help! My main use is for 3D modeling and rendering. I work with really heavy scenes and I use both CPU and GPU renderers. My computer remains on load almost 24/7 and I need something really reliable. I want to focus this upgrade on a new CPU. I’m thinking about a 2950x but It’s extremely hard to find a build to use as guide and I’m really no expert at all.

What I need:
-CPU: 2950x (Or other?)
-Mobo that suports 4 GPU
-Mem: at least 64gb but with possibility to upgrade to 128gb next year.
-a reliable cooling system (water or air) but that allow me to use all the pci-e slots.

Budget: 2000 Euros ideally, 2500 euros max.

My my current build is:
CPU: i7 4930K
Mobo: ASRock X79 Extreme 6
Mem: 48Gb DDR3 1600mhz (6x8)
GPU: 2 x TITAN X (maxwell) + 1x GTX1080
PSU: Corsair Aix1200i
Case: Corsair 750D Obsidian Airflow Edition

Thank you!!!

I'm guessing you would still use some of your graphic cards and even perhaps the PSU and case?
