Help building a PC for 3D rendering/animation/gaming (Ultra) under $1500

[agnelnieves]

Hello,
I have never built a PC before, so I don't have much knowledge building one.
My primary uses will be 3D work and gaming using softwares such as 3D modeling/animation/rendering. I will be using software such as 3DS max, Mudbox/Zbrush, Photoshop,Illustrator, and Unity3D

I would also like to play games such as FarCry4, The Witcher 3, Battlefield...All next gen games in Ultra
- BTW i already have a mouse, monitor and keyboard.


If anyone can please help out with a build it will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Tell me if the price is too much. I am assuming you are going to overclock?

I'd ditch the cooler and go 980ti instead.
