-Original Post Question Below-
I think I can provide the direction if you can provide the parts.

SolidSD, do I need two for RAID to be worth it, or stay with one SSD and perhaps a storage drive?
GPU, is it the correct time to double of (off) an SLI Video Card, or what graphical can I get for running one VideoC today keeping bottleneck?
The games and Photoshop out there on this MB/CPU, then GPU, is anything DDR3 over 32G RAM overkill?

Thank you for help, much love.

What exact board?

If you game and use PS id go for like 12gb of ram. I had 8 and PS wouldnt use beyond 5gb, that could probably vary, but having more than 12 gb RAM is pretty useless unless you are planning on doing some serious video editing and stuff like that.

For GPU you could use this r9 290x http:// It is on sale right now with the code they provide plus another $30 off with a rebate. Thats actually a really good deal for that card. SLI is useless unless you are planning on gaming on very high resolutions using multiple displays.

I dont use SSDs, so I dont know about that, but as far as the Hard Drives go, it really depends how much storage you need, generally tho, I wouldnt go for crazy expensive one because it will have absolutely zero affect on your gaming performance, although most likely will help when saving large PS files.

Furthermore, amd's 8core CPU is pretty power hungry and so are most modern day GPUs, so I wouldn't get less than 600w PSU, ofcourse has to be a reputable company and rated. I have a ~$80 Corsair cx750w PSU and its running perfectly fine. Dont forget that although a PSU is important for your build and you want it to provide stable power, you don't need an expensive one unless you plan to overclock alot and run double+ GPUs.

New question now.

Today I do not have a display for wider banded VGA so I plan to still operate near 720p levels.
How high resolution will the system above push do you speculate?

Next, how should I go about the installation of my operation system with these plans to upgrade?

To the system above I would like to add one or two (in RAID 0) SSD Hard Drives, one latest generation graphics card, and a 4K monitor system.

What I am wondering is what amount of the OS do games/ programs use? When I do get SSD, will it be necessary to transfer the OS over to SSD? How strong of VGA until the mainboard setup calls it quits?

Total price solution thus far $ 918.10 (US) plus my ATX case from 2002.
