I am a 3D character modeler, and I use Maya+Vray, Keyshot, and Modo which uses CPU extensively for rendering. The system will not operate 24/7 though. My budget for this build is $2000-2500 give or take. I will reuse my existing hardware from my current system so all I need within the budget are the following items:
Processors: 2x Intel Xeon 2630 V3
Cooler: 2x Corsair h80i GT
RAM: Crucial 16GB DDR4 2133MHz ECC (Not decided)
Mainboard: Asus Z10PA-D8 ATX Dual-CPU LGA 2011 V3 (Not decided)
PSU: Not decided
Casing: Not decided

I am having a hard time picking the right PSU, case, and the mainboard. Exactly which board from Intel or Supermicro should I be looking at. I was hoping to reuse my existing Corsair TX 650W PSU, but not sure if that is sufficient enough for this rig. I have almost always used Asus boards, and I am not familiar with Supermicro, but I hear good stuff regarding their boards.
PS: This system will not run 24/7.
