The Hyper 212 plus DOES fit on Socket 1150 as that one uses the same mounting holes as Sockets 1155 and 1156. Might as well go for a Hyper 212 Evo though.

If the capacity is the same I would get the faster RAM (1866),
The Asrock motherboard looks like it will be good,
That GPU will be really fast and should last a long while although you probably don't need all that power, so you could spend more on RAM or CPU for better rendering performance.

AS LISTED ABOVE.
Get a hyper 212 evo cpu cooler. Also I believe that xeon max supports 1600 ram so 1886 ram would be a waste.
-edit- why not just get the stuff from the cheapest retailers not just the same?

On paper an i7 also supports 1600MHz max, but you can easily overclock that if you have a higher spec kit. Can you not overclock your RAM on a Xeon, even though you can't overclock the CPU itself or will the memory controller go all nope nope nope on you?
Hi what about the Akasa Venom Pico Performance Multi-Platform CPU Cooler its only £14.98 and seems to be a good alternative to the evo which is 25 and ill get the 1886 ram and put to 1600 in the motherboard.
Good point on the ram, Amazon would also be a good place to look.
edit- to cool a xeon the Akasa should be fine, hyper 212 evo is the go to cooler but it isn't necessary for a xeon.
Is my psu still ok to use its ultra x3 1000 watt psu I got a few years back can I still re use it?
its old me be 10 years old as i got when nvidea 7800 gtx 512 came out.

what graphics card and no, you shouldn't use it.
The gpu will be a
MSI Radeon R9 280X Gaming Edition OC 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
£209.99
as I had 200 but for 10 pounds more I thought it was a good deal.
I have 1 ssd and one 4tb hardrive.
I think the 280x is good for rending and the 3 gb of ram is so much more than I have just know.
I might overclock the gpu as well through not sure if I should or not but I might.
