Hi. This is my first time posting, so I would like to thank you all in advance for your help.
I am looking to build a system for software development on a project that will need to have access to a few terabytes of image data. As such, I was thinking of using a RAID 5 or 10 setup for storage along with a cached boot disk. In addition to the storage requirement, I will need to be able to preform CPU/GPU intense image processing. I am limited to a $4000 budget.
Below is what I was able to come up with. I was wondering if the system would work, and if I would have any problems with it. Also, any general feedback or advice would be welcome.
