The 9900k is a beast.

I've built many systems for 3d animation, rendering and editing through the years and one thing I will never do again is get a dual CPU system. It was good back in the day before Intel started stacking cores, but now it's not necessary unless you like the idea of spending more money. Also, a new Nvidia gtx 1080 gaming card will work just as well as a Quadro ( which costs way more). Quadros are for suckers.

You can take my advice, or waste your money. If you struggle for those bucks, don't throw them down the toilet.
