The suites you are using, will peg every processor at 100% every time depending on which part of the process you are in.
It'll use 100% no matter how much CPU you give it.
Thats a very capable box you built there.
You are about at the threshold of bang for buck.
Any additional money you toss at it won't necessarily return an increase in processing that makes ROI sense.
If you really need to get more performance down the road you'd be better served building smaller (cheaper) i7 single GPU boxes and doing distributed rendering, basically build a render farm.
