the e5-4650 x4 along with a used supermicro board. when i check on ebay it just fits under 1200

I'm honestly just a lot more used to building servers now than consumer machines so i always like going for server parts instead and making crazy cpu numbers. I don't know if it'll really help with your other uses though like developing . I mostly cpu render animations so I like as much cpu as possible.

very nice. though because you seem to be moving it around get yourself some nice magnetic dust protectors especially for the front. It will even make it look better imho. they should also be used on back to help seal in the light so it glows better.

What in the name of all that is holy....

You should totally hook up a small 80mm or something fan to that exhaust, give it the realistic touch, ya know

It's a Ryzen 1950x on a Zenith Extreme x399 with two EVGA 1080ti Ftw3 liquidcooled hybrid cards and a third EVGA 1080ti FTW3 with 128 GB Ram in the system and 14+ TB of storage, full parts list here

I built this PC for algorithmic 3D modeling, rendering, VR development, and machine learning. I started gathering parts in January '18 and at the time these were the best parts available for what I wanted. I plan on picking up one of the PG27UQ monitors or other 4k 144hz monitors about to hit the market.
 
Case Mods
I knew I wanted handles to pick the case up from and wheels so I could move it around easily, I used these Caster wheels and Powder Coated Aluminum Handles from McMaster Carr.
I wired up illuminated toggle switches to control the second set of fans on the liquid cooled 1080ti's radiators and the two side intake fans and an industrial metal starter button for no good reason.
 
There's a faux carbon fiber tailpipe connected to the bottom of the PC via some kind of metal hose for a gas oven I think, and some real carbon fiber panels against the PSU and HD bays.

I think I'll probably just do one SSD and two Seagate - IronWolf Pro drives in the 6-10 TB range after doing more research

I want/need CUDA support 
 
Right on thanks 

Since you're not gaming, I'd suggest crossfired Vegas.

Putting AIO cards is almost the same as putting air cooled cards - plug the card, mount the rad somewhere, plug the power and go. Nothing compared to the custom loop hassle! 
 
About the SLI in games - when you are using one of the best of the best GPUs do you really need SLI? First you are limited to 2 way SLI by Nvidia and second not every game supports SLI. Get a 2 way bridge at max and don't make your life more difficult
