4TB HDD
Asus X99-A Motherboard

Sorry for the super short reply. Hit answer by mistake. Ideally the best cost/performance is keep the large HDD for general storage, and have an SSD in addition for the OS/often used programs and games etc.

Gives you the bonus of SSD enabled boot times and fast loading for the programs that are on it, without having to shell out like 6 grand for a large SSD.

Running a multi-tiered storage setup is ideal. Say a Samsung 950 256gb for the OS, then a 2tb 850 evo for programs, and then your 4 tb for storage. Or, you could run 2 2tb 850 evos in striped setup. But, to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of raid 0.
