Current wisdom on a personal workstation for paying work is to get the fastest processor available in your budget.
That is usually followed by a recommendation for a GPU with some oomphh. (<- technical term)
Other people in video production point to the dual CPU and ECC RAM as workhorses that don't lose things due to crashing.
I used my godbox for everything and it was a behemoth 24/7 but it wasn't fast when it came to things like rendering. My
i5-4690K and now i7 - 4790K sizzle compared to it. However I do reset that computer at least once a month now. I never
thought about the godbox at all.
So now for some more questions, what are you currently using and what is motivating you to step up?
What kind of monitors are you using? Do you also have a reference monitor? Are you going to go 4K in the near future?
What kind of video input are you using, DSLR, dedicated Video Cam, Red or even GoPro?
Hard drive capacities are quite large now, if you can use SSD's for your main, scratch and working projects then I'm not sure
if it makes sense to have a raid array for speed and redundancy over a removable drive bay or two depending on your workflow.
I have a small pile of 2-4 Tb drives that I can plug in to take off completed projects. A couple of two terabyte drives internally
would probably suffice for all your files and storage with the option to store or transport on a removable drive.
I see the Quadro option vs the GTX 980 Ti. Unless you are 24/7 ish with large projects then the 980 Ti would be my choice.
Quadro's have ECC RAM and double precision floating point if you are doing high end calculations or have critical use needs.

The faster GPU, extra CUDA and 6GB DDR5 can all be used by Pinnacle.
The EVGA power supply is good and matched to the system specs of the Quadro and Xeons. I recommend the Seasonic
because it is top tier and a good power supply extends the life of all your components by being a steady sweet source
of power over its lifetime. A larger power supply also means it is not being stretched. The 850W though for your build
has less headroom over the Evga for the dual xeon build which is why I moved it up the quality scale a step.
I was a fan of your original build. You can go faster or wider for much the same money. The 5960X is a 3.0GHz option
and the Xeon is 2.4GHz but the 5930K is 3.5GHz all the time, and it has twelve threads. It also supports 40 PCI-e lanes
so that faster storage options and additional GPU's can be added. If you find that the 980 Ti isn't everything you need
you can pick up a K2200 as a second card but I doubt you will need to.
Finally, a modest overclock gets you to 4.0GHz, you have the water to support that.
