Advice on $7000 build please

[amarksman]

Hi everyone, I currently have a pretty decent build and would like to build a much better one for heavy 3d modeling and rendering. My current build: i7 3930k, gtx 780, 32 corsair vengeance ram, asus rampage iv extreme.

What is a BEAST build I can make specifically for programs like 3ds max, vray, zbrush, realflow, etc?

I am leaning towards (2x) Xeon 2660 v3 (20 cores total)

Budget is around $7000

Thanks in advance!

That, plus about 64-128Gig RAM, a few SSDs or M.2 PCIe storage and a nice professional GPU or two should see you right.

Thanks a lot Karsten for your reply! Do you suggest any particular models for those other components?

For the GPU I am thinking a 780 ti for the cuda cores.
