er i think you're aiming for x99/2011-v3 setup, not z170 or anything mainstream: if you wanna have 4x16gb as base and still have ram slots for future upgrades, then you have to go for 2011-v3 instead of z170 (8x vs. 4x ram slots); sli takes up pcie lanes, so does pcie ssd raid0. i think with z170 you can most probably do either one, not both.
i think for 7k you can still get things started (get the basics first), then progressively add more stuff in whenever you're ready. you don't really need to get everything in one shot, do you?
Yup, I agree too. From the type of work listed, you will need more cores and more threads. Hubby wanting you to wait til end of the year now becomes rather irrelevant since Kabylake is going to be mainstream when it comes out then. An I7 6800K ( 6C/12T) is what you should be considering.i think for 7k you can still get things started (get the basics first), then progressively add more stuff in whenever you're ready. you don't really need to get everything in one shot, do you?
EDIT : Any reason why you are opting for Windows Pro instead of Home edition?
