Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask for some help. I'm going to start working on Softwares like Adobe Suite, Nuke for Compositing, Realflow for Water Simulation, Rendering in 1080p and some Gaming also. My Budget is around 2500$ - 3000$. Please help me in making my computer rig.

Note, that working on Compositing is my first priority and I need some for my gaming also. So please suggest me some good GTX GPU only as I'm not a fan of AMD.

Here's my suggestion. The titan is an odd choice, but I think that it fits your niche well. If you'd prefer, you could swap down to a 980 or 970 for excellent gaming performance and add extra memory or maybe the 5960x.

The Titan is neat, because its strong in both gaming and as a workstation processor.

Here's one that's a little closer to your ceiling with the 8 core 5960x, 32gb of slightly faster memory, a kickass air cooler for overclocking, and a GTX 980. The PSU is another pretty great unit, a little more headroom an a little less price, but i like the efficiency of the Antec.
