What's the second SSD for?

And you can definitely get better SSDs - the Kingston drives use the old, slow, and problematic Sandforce 2.0 controller. It's far eclipsed by the Samsung 840 Pro and OCZ Vector 150.

You also might want to consider an X79 rig and a GTX card instead of a Radeon card. The GTX cards are better for video editing and rendering with CUDA and Phys X.

And also get one set of 4 x 8GB. It may be more expensive than 2 sets of 2 x 8GB but then you know that all your RAM sets are perfectly matched.

I don't play games at all but I know that the 2k and avchd video formats requires a lot of power on the cpu and gpu.

I want to install my software on the first ssd and use the second as a temporary drive for video files.

For motherboard, I would like wifi. Wich model with cpu do you suggest?

For video card, I would like to connect 2 monitor. Wich model do you suggest?
