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.
