Been about four years since I built my last system, so I know a lot has changed. I am now more heavily into multicam video editing with Canon DSLR's and a new C100, so I need a bit of help on a system build. Looking for best bang for buck, I have typically in the past looked for the best "extreme" components then knock it back a step or two if you know what I mean. What in your opinion is an optimum CPU/RAM/MB/HD set up? I'm thinking i7, 32GB, at least three HD's, on SSD for OS, one for scratch drive, and maybe a two or three HD Raid array for media. Let me know what you think. Budget is $2500.

You dont need something more from this.
GTX 780 is one of the best photo/video editting GPU for the 2014 so is good enough.
