I am looking forward in creating an oracle server with database approx 6 TB. I am pretty confused with all the quotations I obtained from different vendor. What would be the best system configuration to have for my database server. One configuration which I was thinking is

Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3
64 GB (16 GB x 4) DDR 4
8 TB (WD Re WD4000FYYZ)
GIGABYTE GA-X99-Phoenix SLI
Cooler Master HAF 912 Combat
Cooler Master RS750-AMAAG1-UK

Please help me choose the best configuration for my server which would be cost efficient and performance based

BUGET would be around $ 2000

Just a few observations but as King Dranzer said, a budget is really needed to give detailed advice.

1) The motherboard doesn't support ECC. Avoid. ECC is non-negotiable for a production database server.
2) Presumably, you're looking at 4 x WD4000FYYZ in RAID10 on a hardware RAID controller?
3) The amount of memory looks a little light for a database of that size but it depends on the working set so that's just a hunch.

My advice would be to use a purpose-built server from Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. rather than a homebrew system, unless it's just for messing about rather than a "real" production application.

[Edit - add observation about memory sizing.]
