I'm going to be building a ridiculous PC capable of running every gaming station in my house.

It's planned to have 12 graphics cards, 6 CPUs (10 cores each), 25TB of storage, and 256 GB of RAM.

I need some info and instructions as to how I should set this up, what motherboard(s) to buy, etc.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm not very familiar with these kind of machines but i don't think there's a 10 core cpu (or any cpu) that supports 6 cpu configs. (the highest amount of cpus that work with each other is 4) I'd suggest you wait for AMDs Epyc server cpus and pair 2 of them. They're 32 cores 64 threads each so 2 of them would add up to 64 cores. I also don't know about the motherboards coming for epyc but you'll likely need quite a few adapters to fit all the gpus. The cpus themselves could support 12 gpus with 8 pcie lanes for each so that's not a problem. I think the main system should be linux server (unless you want to pay microsofts annual server licenses) with 12 virtual machines running windows.
Further than this i can't really help since like i...

Further than this i can't really help since like i said i don't have much experience with these things but i hope this at least gave some idea of what to look for.

Hey, these are just the specs I'm shooting for. Other than the core count (give or take a few), and the graphics card count, it could all change.

First how many gaming stations are you planning to run from this Setup. I understand what you are planning to do. But going for more than 2CPu setup is meaningless not because of price but because of the maintenance that goes into it. It depends on how many gaming setups you wanna run together.
