Need your advice on a new computer-2000$ limit- never done this before.

Well as the title states....? I am taking a Solid Works class and I have to use my own machine for this. After talking to my professor he has expressed to me that I will need a "Beefey" machine to do this 3d rendering type work and I have been wanting to get into gaming for a while. I am able to pick out things like the monitor and speakers on my own (2010 SECA champ!! 155.3 db @ 47htz) but I got onto newegg and started to price things out and got a bit over whelmed. I want to make sure that what I buy will work with everything. things like what motherboards are finniky and what ones work what ram works with the mother board. So enough of me babbling here is what I need and the rest is up to you guys, if you could explain why you choose what you choose so I can gain a understanding of all this that would be great.

THINGS I NEED: Everything right down to a mouse pad and screen cleaner

specs: I was told to look for a i7 2600K prossesor??? why I don't know. The software I will be using (from what I hear) is quite hard on video cards so a good VC will be needed and last I would like 12g ram or more, the rest is all up to you

Ohhhh and no loud fans or flashy ass lights all over the case. lets be tasteful here folks we are all grown up now.

Since you have a high budget, I would recommend a Radeon 6970. Like this one.

If you get a triple channel board, then this RAM.

If I knew more about Intel I would recommend a motherboard. And you may want a RAID setup, in which I don't know that much about either. I would recommend more components, but I don't really have that much time.

so does the monitor and speakers you're picking come out of the 2k, those do take a good chunk out of it.

ok, so this comes out to 1996.41, and that's before the 90 worth of mail-in-rebates, could prob use that for some arctic silver thermal paste and an extra fan or 2 just to keep the airflow nice, and you could also change the case if you want, there were several others combod, but that was the first non led'd one but if you keep it clean i'd see if they have the 600t white, looks so nice.
