hello, i want to build a machine specifically for video editing on triple 1440p monitors.
i have a pretty large budget of 4500 dollars, any over and it will be out of pocket (though i am willing to step up to 5000 if the improvement is that much). this will be for my work in video editing. it will be in us dollars and yes i live in the us. Thank you
Note: i need all the parts of the pc. monitors not included. i need at least 6 tb of storage and a ssd (any size, just boot drive, but preferably 256-512 GB). everything else will be stored on the NAS.

Before you take advice here (where most of people seem not really up to speed on high-performance workstations), take a look at a real workstation for post productions and design.

At the price point you're talking, your well into the Mac Pro territory (dual processor, maybe ECC memory) etc. The Titan Black is one of the few GPU cards that is qualified both as a professional and a gaming card.

Yeah, one is for me, the rest for my family. i'm the techie who they go to because i generally give them the machines they need at significantly cheaper prices than they would pay a boutique builder.

1. Sorry i forgot to mention i had 1 titan black on hand from the work station at my last job so would it be worthwhile to get another titan and sli instead of 980s? this is what i was thinking
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KryfRB i marked the other titan purchased just the total would be the same.

2. would there be any benefits to stepping up to a xeon?

3. Could i upgrade to 64 GB of memory in the future? ik the motherboard has 8 slots and currently i will have 4 filled but will the i7 work win octo channel mode? ik it can work in quad channel mode.


Thank You!

The i7 5960X will support up to 64gb of ram, but does only support quad channel mode: http://ark.intel.com/products/82930 , but yes I believe it will support 64gb in an 8 stick setup: http://www.learningdslrvideo.com/daves-beast-computer-build/

I don't think stepping up to a Xeon would give you any benefit within your budget.

Let me get back to you about the titan, I believe it would probably be worth it to SLI the titan black, but let me get back to you on that.

Seems like titan black sli for video editing is overkill from the link you sent me. the money is the company's money and they gave me a limit so i want to spend all of it to get a pc good enough to do all the video editing. so we will just drop the gpu and improve other things. but i will keep the power supply for sli later. (just to keep it upgradeable enough.)
Thank You!

Agreed. Maybe even look into an Nvidia Quadro
