There's no storage? Add a HDD and SSD?

Edit: Didn't see you already had a HDD and SSD lmao.

Don't need storage, how's the build?

Xeon to handle the rendering needs, enough PSU headroom to add another 980 Ti in SLI if you ever feel the need to and a nice 1440p monitor.

Xeon for gaming?

I'd be doing more gaming than rendering.

The CPU isn't as important as the GPU for most games, but the Xeon would be fine for gaming alongside the 980 Ti.

The only differences are that the Xeon doesn't have an iGPU (which you won't need anyway) and the Xeon has Hyperthreading which will be very useful for when you need to do rendering etc. The only other thing is that the Xeon can't be overclocked but to overclock the i7 you would need a cooler and more PSU oomph.

Drop the monitor if you don't need one!
