Rationale:

I chose the 5820K because it's the cheapest of all other CPU's. Compared to the 5930K, it has less PCIe lanes and just a little slower, but you can overclock it.

The Crucial Ballistix Sport RAM has a grey/silver color scheme that will go with the rest of the build. It has four DIMM's for quad-channel operation and you'll still have 4 slots left for future upgrades.

It has a 128 GB M.2 SSD to store your OS and other frequently used programs. There are 2 Intel 730 240 GB SSD's in RAID 0. They have incredible load speeds for other programs such as Steam. The 2 Seagate 2 TB hard drives are in RAID 1 for your edited media content. It also has a Blu-Ray writer if you want to copy a movie onto a disc.

The Titan Black is extremely powerful, it'll be able to handle any game at 1440p and programs like Adobe Premiere Pro can take advantage of CUDA.

The NZXT Phantom 630 is white that looks great with the motherboard and RAM. It's also windowed so you can enjoy the innards of the rig.

SeaSonic makes quality power supplies, and with 1000W, you can always SLI the Titan Black's in the future. It's rated 80Plus Platinum for high efficiency.

I chose the Asus PB278Q monitor because 27" is a decent size and the rig can handle any AAA game at ultra 1440p.

The Logitech G710+ is a great keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. It also has white backlighting to match the white-themed system.

The headset is wireless and has 7.1 channels for the best audio experience.

Lastly, the Corsair SP140's white LED fans give lighting into the windowed case so you can always see your components. It's also great for overall cooling and 2 of them are on the NZXT X61 rad.

*Note that the Corsair SP140 fans in the build is a pack of 2 each. This is a total of 8 fans.*

This is my X99 build! :D

IDK why you would bother to add WD Greens. Just saying, they are the lower speed models, so they are slow in comparison to 7200RPM drives, just sayin.

But aren't they quieter and consume less power than normal ones, they are for storing videos so it doesn't really matter. The games would be stored in the 1tb ssd.

Rationale:

- i7-5820K has great features for the price. An excellent starting point for the build, with the ability to upgrade to either of its bigger brother models.

- X99 Deluxe by ASUS has everything you could want in a motherboard, and also lays the platform for the black/white theme.

- Phanteks TC14PE Black sticks with the theme and keeps the CPU cool without making too much noise.

- 32GB G.Skill DDR4 memory is enough for everything you could possibly think of running.

- 250GB SSD for OS/apps/games, 500GB SSD for use as a scratch drive, 2x4TB drives to be set as RAID1 and will store all other data + backups of SSDs. Also another option for these HDDs is to set them up as single drives to double the storage space, at the risk of losing data.

- 2x GTX 780 from ASUS (red stickers stripped off to continue black/white theme) running in SLI. This is mainly for the games but CUDA support is a bonus to the workstation uses.

- Housed in a Corsair 750D because it's a beautiful case and will have plenty of space for parts/cable management.

- EVGA 850W PSU powering everything up. Fully modular so there will be no unsightly excess cables.

- Samsung U950D 4K monitor for 4K video editing support. Also the ability to play games at 4K resolutions; however the 780s may not be up for that, at least not on Ultra settings.

- Logitech 710 keyboard and G502 mouse because they're both excellent devices with great software support.

- Audio-Technica A700X headset for brilliant audio quality.

I agree with you Probenja, however you should really explain what these parts are being used for to avoid confusion and people getting the wrong idea :)

Well I want to start things off by saying this is a pure workstation and is not in anyway intended to be a gaming pc build. Here's the build below (and sorry that the Nvidia Quadro k5000 GPU is listed as a custom part, for some reason I simply could not find that card within the PC part picker list with compatibility mode on or off. So I simply found it on NewEgg for a cheaper price than everywhere else I looked and provided a link so you can confirm the price.).

 


 
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor  ($579.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: EVGA Micro Micro ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard  ($249.99 @ Amazon)

Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-09-18 19:01 EDT-0400
 
 
Now let's start with explaining myself....
 
For the motherboard I chose the EVGA Micro ATX simply because it have more than enough slots for future upgrades as well as more than enough slots for what the build includes in its current state.
 
I went for the 5930k cpu simply because the price, the 5960k is simply too expensive for this budget and for rendering I feel that the 5930k should be more than enough in terms of power.
 
For CPU cooling I chose the Cooler Master Nepton 280L because it's a powerful dual rad cooler that should allow extra room for overclocking the CPU.
 
For the RAM I went with 16gb (In 2 8gb sticks) of Crucial Ballistix Sport ddr4-2400 memory, which should be more than enough for video editing and 3d rendering.
 
For storage I went with a 250gb Samsung 840 EVO SSD which should have enough space for your OS as well as any open projects you are currently working on. And for storing the rest of your files and backing up data I put in 2 Hitachi Deskstar NAS 3tb 7200rpm HDDs which can be configured in RAID.
 
For the Case I went with the NZXT H440 (White/Black Edition because white cases are awesome), due to the good airflow and support for a dual 280mm radiator.
 
For Power I didn't need much, so I chose a EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650w 80+Gold. It has more than enough power for the system, plus it is completely modular which is always a plus in my book.
 
Now for the GPU. You may have noticed that I chose to use a Quadro k5000 instead of the usual Titan Black. This is simply because when it comes to rendering and other professional applications, a Quadro seems to be a better bet due to Quadro's drivers being geared to do just that. While the Quadros are not as good as a Titan Blacks when it comes to gaming, for a workstation the Quadro is simply the more efficient choice (at least according to my research). And hey this is a workstation, not a gaming suite. Plus I also wanted to stick with a single card solution because I've read some complaints about professional applications not working well with SLI or Crossfire. Also, you may have to follow the part picker link to find the link to the graphics card and confirm the price, custom parts don't seem to link with the bb codes.
 
For the monitor I chose the Acer K272HULbmiidp. It's 27 inches, runs at 60hz, and packs an awesome 2560x1440 resolution. A great monitor especially given the price methinks.
 
For the mouse I chose the Razer Naga 2014. It's accurate and has plenty of extra keys that can be reprogrammed into hotkeys or macros (ctrl+z, ctrl+y, etc....) for easier access to your tools.
 
For the keyboard I chose the Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition, simply because I feel that the Razer Green mechanical keys are the best keys I've used and you can't really get them anywhere else. (Plus I already chose a Razer Mouse so you may as well make them match.)
 
For the headset I chose the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z11 headset. I haven't used a turtle beach headset myself, however this headset has the same sound range of many higher priced products and I have heard (very many times) that they are great quality headsets and they also come at a great price.
 
So there's mah build, hope you like it!
 
       (Edit : Sorry, I had to edit my build because I didn't realize that I had to include headphones or speakers and I forgot too. So I changed the keyboard into the Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition [still got those clicky Razer Green switches], and I added the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z11 headset.)

Graphic design / photo editing workstation. HDD in RAID 1. Monitor includes speakers which should be sufficient for the intended use. Graphic tablet for fine control. Decent wireless keyboard and mouse for system work. Quiet case and psu. The psu is oversized.

I would say that this system is for mostly video editing. The reason that I went with lower storage capacity is that most professional video editors will have a server with high throughput data like a 10 gigabit server. As for the CPU, I didn't think that the extreme edition was worth it over the Titan Graphics Card.

I envision this as a workstation for a professional video editor or 3D renderer. Think Mac Pro but with function over form and not the inverse.  Nothing was skimped on even the peripherals are the best IMHO out there for the intended purpose. It has enough power and space to add 3 more graphics cards.  The memory could also be doubled.
