mhz isnt important in ram, its the balance between frequencies and latencies. if you do alot of workstation stuff, after effects, 3d modeling and animations and such, you should go with a quad channel setup, and a workstation graphics card. The workstation graphics card will still help you in gaming, but wont be as fast as a gaming card, but you will benefit much more in your applications. also a quad core i7 on the 2011 platform, with a decent overclock and some ram blought at like 2133 mhx, down clocked to 1600 and tight timings in a quad channel setup will give you a hell of alot more performance than any i7 and ramm at 2400mhz in dual channel cause those programs really on heavy processing and ram access to generate effects and animations.
stick with the kraken and bring your cpu as high as you can too, since you will actually benefit from cpu performance, unlike gamers you can overcome most bottlenecks with an i5 at 4.0GHz

thats something i threw together in newegg, turns out that a good workstation graphics card wount really be a good idea, too much money spent and too little gaming performance (imo) i feel like something like a 780 or 780ti is best, the GK110 chips are great at workstaion applications. and a 680 wont run ou too much. as for a processor, your gonna have to go with the quad core 2011 socket i7. hyperthreading and quad channel memmory i feel is key to your enjoyment though, so if anything skimp on graphics, but stick with a gaming board cause unless your making a living on your computer, the workstation card is a poor investment.

Your recommendations seem a bit expensive. A 2011 socket quad core CPU is not cost effective either. Neither is a GTX 780 or GTX780 ti.

if the user will be compressing rendering modeling and creating effects for atleast 2-3 hours a day, than a 2011 platform is the way to go. but shaving off 20% or more of the render time of effects, the user can accomplish more as well as feel like the time spent on the computer is not boring as hell. I use a workstation PCIe ssd for gaming (was a good deal) but when i compress, or install files that are dl'ed to that drive, that thing can push data, i may not have needed it for gaming, but if you are a power user not a gamer, there are different ways to spend your money. and one of the most important things you need to consider when building a workstation themed computer is the working copy of the data. and moving a probabaly 20 gigs around your computer at a time (since working copies often take up more data when every component is open at once) takes alot of ram cpu mother board and ssd power, rather than just a fast gpu and cpu with a decnt ssd. The other thing to keep in mind is how often you use the computer and what exactly the extra work efficiency is worth to you. if using these editing programs is related to your career, lets say a graphics design student or student trying to become a graphic artist for game studios, than spending the mone on the right parts is beneficial. However im not exactly sure how exaclty the user intends to put the pc to use.
