I am planning on purchasing a high end gaming PC that will last me a number of years.
My initial build would be: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hJcPjX with the idea of being able to expand on this PC in the future to ensure its longevity. Eventually if (when) games become more demanding I will upgrade to something along the lines of: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R37g23
Also with that in mind I plan on being able to run games on a 4K resolution at high/ultra settings. Keep in mind that since I plan on this PC lasting a long while I hope to avoid overclocking for as long as possible. I am looking to see if this is a solid build or could I be spending my money more efficiently?
 
Solution
Seems good, the 980ti sli will be good for 4k, the i7 6700k would do better in games that the 5820k, because of its higher clock speed. You should know you wont get any extra speed by putting two ssds in raid 0 except in something like copying one larg file from two storages of the same speed, and generally you would just increase the failure rate.
You might consider waiting for pascal and polaris, there are rumours that the next titan will launch in april

Solution
Could be cheaper. Using AMD Radeon R9 Fury Nano would drag down price without sacrificing much noticeable performance. Also, use bigger motherboards. This would allow you to get a maximum of 4 GPUs if it gets to that point.
