So this machine will be a christmas present for myself haha. Anyway I'm planning on getting the next:
Motherboard: X99-Deluxe II
CPU: i7-6950X
RAM: 128GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (Chrome) 3200MHz
GPU: Titan X (Pascal) 2 way SLI
PSU: AX1200i
Storage: This is tricky for me as I just want SSDs and the fastest I can get. I was thinking about getting two 2TB 960 Pros but I'm scared of those overheating as I've been reading on other threads, my other option was getting a 750 Pro but I'm not sure of how fast it will be. Could you help me decice what should I use as the booting drive and the storage drives? I need to go full way SSD as I don't want to get slower tranfer speeds than the ones in my MacBook Pro which actually gets to around 2.7 GB/s. The files I transfer normally are small less than 1.5GB but once in a while I need to move some big files which are over 30GB. But this is a bit rare I would do this once a week or less. I know that the Deluxe II Motherboard comes with two m.2 slots one gets in with a PCIe x4 adapter and the other is part of the motherboard and there's a dual u.2 slot too. So i don't know what should I get I need at least 4TB for storage and the boot drive needs to be at least 800GB. So if you have some recomendations. I'm pretty scared of the temps though.
Oh and BTW could you explain me what are IOPS I don't get it. I know that some SSDs with the same sequential read speeds can be faster for simple taks like booting but slower at transfering files so I need help with that.
For cooling I will not build a custom loop as I really don't have the time and experience for maintenace so I wont be able to clean it and I'm scared of actually building one. So I will go with three Kraken X62 280mm radiators.
Case: The only case I know that will fit three 280mm radiators and that looks good is the Corsair Air 740. But that will leave me with only one 140mm fan left. Does the air that goes through the radiator will be able to cool the insides too?
Monitors: Dual LG Ultrafine 5K any other monitors you would recommend?
I'm a bit lost here as this will be my first PC build I've always worked on laptops but I'm getting involved in a huge project so I need to invest as much as I can and I want it to pair my MacBook Pro experience which is indeed incredible. I know this build is 300 times more powerful than my
previewmacbook pro but I want the experience to be the same. I do gaming too and music production so that's why I need the most powerful components.
Thank you so much for your help.
