Hey dudes, my name is Gary. I need a build you guys would recommend for gaming/music production(making, mixing, and mastering instrumentals, lyrics and live instrument recording)/ and video editing! I don't have a budget, i want the best build possible. It needs to have a ton of RAM, a killer graphics card, and a bunch of memory. If you guys could just send me a response with the components you would recommend that would be awesome and would help me soooo much. Haha hopefully yall can get back to me! Thank you very much.

No budget or insane overkill but not completely senseless?

From the sound of things you won't need anything more than a 4770k with a Titan and 16gb ram

No budget but like i really dnt wanna go over 10k. I need the most ram i can get since my plug ins are rather expansive

Where are you shopping/located? Currency?

Can someone explain the difference between a ssd an hdd. Like what is the advantage to having an ssd with raid lol

A ssd is much, much faster, uses less power, is silent, lighter, and less likely to randomly die on you.

Do you have a copy of Windows? What about peripherals? If yes, specify what you already have. If no, tell us what you need.

Could i water cool this set up? Because i may overclock it

The cooler I recommended is already plenty for a decent overclock. 

If you really want to watercool, skip the Phanteks and get a stock 290x.
