A $500 motherboard is very expensive. paying $300 just for aesthetics on a $3300 build is a lot. OP could also have saved over $100 on the ram.
The PSU is overkill too, the 1080 has a 180W TDP and the 5820K a 150W TDP. 800W would be enough for two 980ti (250W each). OP could have gotten a platinum rated 850W PSU for the same price.
That said, OP plans to upgrade the strange parts of his build so it's not a big deal IMO. according to his comment his build will be about $1500 more expensive eventually, and at that point it's OK to spend so much money on a motherboard as that money could not be spent better elsewhere. It just looks a bit strange when you look at it as it is now.
Oh man, you sent me down a rabbit hole of specs.
Turns out I was overspending on the RAM because the CPU's have a limit of usable Mhz, so I was considering a 3466Mhz RAM when that i7-7700K CPU only allows 2400Mhz for a DDR4.
Those i9 CPUs are awesome, 12 cores! literally 3 times my current PC, I'm now considering a i9-7920X, the Mobo is the GIGABYTE X299 AORUS Gaming 9, and the RAM is now the Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 2666, which fits the i9 RAM requirement of 2666Mhz.
As the question about rendering, apparently the 460 isn't capable of doing GPU rendering, so I always go for CPU render.
Fun Fact: some time ago the GPU would crash and I would have to restart the PC to use it again. The Nvidia 460 only works properly with an specific driver (the 314.22), so, even if it is capable of GPU rendering, I can't make an update because it will crash all the time.
64 Gigs Corsair Vengeance for the ram.
As for the renderer, I'll be using Octane as my standard, go-to renderer (I believe the term was unbiased, if I'm remembering right).
The other one is up in the air, as I want a render program that will allow me to create a lot of psychedelic imagery as well as to adjust how materials act in regards to light (Think massive geodes, glass, machinescapes, and gems as well as cyberpunk-type stuff).
You could get 64gb for the same price almost. I would take a look at tonymacx86s recommended builds for the best results.
