Need advise on big multi tasking monster...$10k budget

Approximate Purchase Date:


Hey everyone...

Been a lurker for a bit and finally decided to sign up to ask some advice on some things I have planned. It should be said that I've watched and read through countless reviews and am always open to new information on the parts I have in mind. I need a monster multitasking setup......bigtime

I'm NOT looking to go the XEON route if I can help it. I know I'll need a number of things working together to make this build really worthwhile to me as I own my own business and this monster is going to be my primary Work PC.

As many benchmarks as there are out there, I figured I'd get some advice from folks that have 1st hand experience in real usage situations, vs. just numbers in clinical testing programs.

I own a Dance studio but also do TONS of photo and video editing, and music mixing as well and need something more than what I have because I've delayed an upgrade long enough and I'm at the point that I'm having to use multiple computers and or laptops to accomplish my daily tasks because my main PC becomes a temporary brick when I throw too much at it.

I should also say that I don't game...AT ALL.

Currently coming from an AMD FX2 a10-7800 with 16gb of ddr3 and a GTX 960, with 3x 25" Hp 1080p monitors and a 29" LG ultrawide in PLP with 2 monitors as the middle landscape part

3x Laptops of varying power

I also am dealing with over 100 phillips hue bulbs on 2 separate bridges over my wifi so any help there is cool too.

Budget Range:
up to $10k but I really only want what is absolutely necessary

System Usage from Most to Least Important:
1I need to be able to run Multiple music services like Itunes, Amazon Music, Sonos, and virtual DJ without things crashing.

I also need to be able to have photoshop, after effects, or premiere pro from cs6, and lightroom open in some combo with the above referenced music programs running or open in the background.

2I need to be able to run the above programs while pulling footage from the cards on my sony a7s2 (4k and 120fps slo motion primarily), and zoom h6 recorder.

3I also would LOVE to be able to shut all of the other programs down and open a virtual Android OS alongside my windows 10 OS and Live stream to multiple sources like youtube, facebook, periscope, Google Hangouts, and Beme.

4It would also be awesome to be able to use that virtual terminal to wirelessly connect my sony camera to my computer and download stills as I take them on the fly when we have parties and group classes.

Parts Not Required:

3x 40" 4k monitors

Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
I really like Amazon and am open to Newegg as well. Also should be said that my parents live near a Microcenter and I'f I need to drive the 3 hours to see them as an excuse to go to Microcenter and save some cash I'm ok with that.

Country:
Usa

Parts Preferences:
I'll edit this with links:

I'm considering the following:

I7 -5960x processor and looking to overclosk it to the 4.3 - 4.5 GHz range

Msi gaming 7 motherboard or ASRock x99 ws -e (although that may change below)

Corsair H100i water cooler

Corsair Vengeance 2666 ddr4 (64GB) - Unless I feel good about getting one of the boards that is known to be compatible with 128BG of Ram on the 5960x (I know Asus has a couple and a BIOS update for it but I've not read enough about the reliability on that setup and am Not sure that is REALLY going to help in my situation)

2x GTX 1080s (NOT SLI)

Some version of 1000 to 1500w psu

Cosmos ii case - HUGE I know but I need storage and maximum space for cooling

Samsung 950Pro M.2 500gb for Os and Programs

4x samsung 850 EVO SSDs for the initial offloading of media files

6x WD 6TB black HDs in raid 10 for the storage of said media files once I've scrubbed and edited things and to maybe act as a PLEX storage system

Maybe a PCie M.2 card to use as a scratch or even a cache disk

Maybe a RAID card for the 4th PCIe slot for the WD Drives.

Of course an array of Noctua fans for the case as needed.

OR..

I've thought about getting 2x asrock x99 ws -e/10g boards and using a 5820k with 32gb ram and overclocked inside the cosmos ii and full of WD 6Tb drives for storage and as a plex server. I'd run that as a DAS directly attached to another rig with the 5960x and run it with a 950 pro in the m.2 slot along with the 2x 1080s and then 2x pcie m.2 adapters with 2 more m.2 drives and use 4x samsung 850 evos as cache buffers or scratch disks(If it were possible or even necessary)

I'm leaning towards the second option as those boards come with intel teaming allowing up to 22gb networking with the built in hardware Which should keep things crispy.

I've also considered the asrock extreme 11 boards.

I know it was a lot of info but I wanted to be thorough so that it helps paint the picture.

Honestly, the thing I'm most nervous about is getting DOA motherboards than anything else.

Overclocking:


SLI or Crossfire:

I went with SONY SHAKE 55 but you can go with any other music system worth $1000 if you don't have one already. If already have one you can save $1000.

USAFret.......my music and video data is already regularly backed up onsite, offsite, and via cloud (although the archived video is not on cloud as it is just too big). With the components I'm thinking about having to spend a few hundred extra dollars to get another motherboard or processor to shelf in a pinch isn't a big deal.

g-unit1111.....its not just audio production....its 6+hours of footage a week to scrub and edit....I need cuda cores and horsepower
