What are the two SSDs for? I would get a fast primary drive like an M2 and a large mass storage drive for the secondary. I also would suggest looking at X99:

Mechanical storage will never be obsolete. It is generally more reliable for backups than SSD based storage is. You can have larger single capacity drives that are more cost effective than large SSDs are. By comparison a 2TB Samsung 850 Evo currently hovers at about $670, which is not cost efficient enough, but a 4TB mechanical drive is currently $189.
