Great looking system for $6157.
I have a single 980TI and believe the 980Ti is the best bang for the buck. Two of them in SLI should deliver awesome performance. 1200W Corsair AX1200i pwer supply has a 7-year warranty. Good. The Samsung 850 Pro is rated for more read/writes before failure than the Samsung 850 EVO. Samsung brand is very good, but I have always thought of the EVO as a "lightweight" version. I did not see a 2xSSD 120 GB option for the Samsung Pro like you wanted, but there is a 1xSSD 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro. Why the 2nd 2xSSD 120 GB SSD storage set? I do not know anything about video editing, so just curious how you plan to use that. |

Thanks for the feedback 4k video editing benefits from multiple drives to run seperate processes on - previews, exports, media etc. |
