Need some guidance: Newbie

[amusa]

I own a Engineering Consulting Company. I'm building a graphic work station computer for my home office. This will be my first desktop build. I already done some research, pricing and I got a some what a list together but need feedback.

1. Corsair Obsidian Series 900D ATX Super Tower Computer Case
2. Corsair HX-Series 1050 Watt ATX 12V Modular Power Supply (QTY: 1 or 2)
3. Asus P9X79 WS Socket 2011 X79 CEB Intel Server Motherboard
4. Intel Core i7-4960X 3.6 GHz LGA 2011 Boxed Processor
5. Corsair Vengeance Series 32GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL 10 Quad Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Four 8GB Memory Modules)
6. Liquid Cooling or Air Cooling (undecided)
7. Hard Drives (undecided), Friend told me I can use a Ray Controller.
8. Fans will be set up as push/pull
9. DVD Burner
10. Sound Card (undecided)
11. Wireless Router Card (Undecided)
12. (3) LED Monitors HDMI

The Software/Operating
1. Windows 7 or 8, 64-bit
2. Autodesk AutoCAD 2014 full version
3. Bentley MicroStation
4. BIM
5. Revit
6. Adobe full package (Photoshop, etc.)
7. Microsoft Package (word, excel, Outlook, etc)

Other Equipment
1. 44" wide format plotter
2. Scanner

Please let me know if it will work or not and what I need to change on my list?

Is it necessary getting i7-4960X with super tower?

I would probably get standard i7-4770K with full tower like Fractal Design Define XL R2.

Hard Drive. Probably 2TB or 3TB in RAID 1

GPU - do you need work station video card? Or you go for cheaper desktop video card?

PSU - probably don't need 1050W, I would say 850W should be enough even if you SLi/ Crossfire 2 high end card.

When considering the X79 chipset, you need to be sure that you can use all the six cores. Otherwise Daisy is right and a 4770K will be better. You seem to use a wide array of software, so it might be worth it. Some of that might also take advantage of the quad channel RAM.
I will however say that unless there is not budget - at all - I would go with the 4930K. AFAIK the only difference is 3MB cache and the clock speed. But I assume you'll be overclocking anyway.

Thanks for the input.

Video card I will need something to support 3D drawings and rendering.

I had a chance to look at the software spec.
Autodesk AutoCAD 2014:
Athlon 64 with SSE2 technology, AMD Opteron™ processor with SSE2 technology, Intel® Xeon® processor with Intel EM64T support and SSE2 technology, or Pentium 4 with Intel EM64T support and SSE2 technology

Autodesk Revit 2014:
multi-core Intel® Pentium®, Intel® Xeon®, or i-Series processor or AMD equivalent with SSE2 technology (highest affordable CPU speed rating recommended)
Multiple cores for many tasks, up to 16 cores for near-photorealistic rendering operations

BIM:
16GB with 8 core
