Video Editing Workstation - First Time Build

[sampakk]

Any thoughts or suggestions on my video editing build? I will be working with 4K footage, 3D renders and possible VR work. I use Adobe Premiere and After Effects.  My budget is around $3000. Thanks

Could you give a reason why you choose this graphics card?

My thinking is going for stability and a professional workstation card like the Quadro for 3D Rendering and Editing. I have been back and forth on this subject a lot.

Not totally sure about this one, but it might be wise to go with an i7 6800k instead of the Xeon. Xeon's are more designed for servers, while the new high end SKylake i7's (like the 6800k) are more for professional desktop use. Linus' last video was about the four new chips, but focused on the top-of-the-line $1700 6950X:

why a m.2 ssd and a pci ssd?

For speed and performance. The M2 will be my boot drive. The pci SSD my preview drive for adobe premiere.

What makes you think that Xeons are not meant for workstation builds ?

I thought Xeon's were specially designed for servers?

They are used in servers, but they are also good for workstation builds as you can get ones with more cpu cores than the desktop Broadwell-E range. They usually cost more though.
