Ultimate Workstation Gaming and Upgrade Friendly - Need Input

[Warhiker]

Hello Tommers,

I am currently planning to build my dream PC, and I would like your help to evaluate my part choices as well as my entire build philosophy. I will be using this workstation for video editing, 3d modeling, as well as gaming. It is my intent to run the majority of applications inside of "DimmDrive" ramdisk program. Because I am looking for this speed increase from DimmDrive, I have designed this workstation to be ram-centric. Please criticize this build on every facet. I intend to Crossfire in the future with an additional r9 295x2. I also would like suggestion on 4k SSD and the best monitor for the price.

Here is one of the ram sticks that I am interested in, as it is many times cheaper than GSkills listed: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ct16g4rfd4213
I understand that this is going to be an expensive build, however I do not want to skimp on the important things like PSU in the beginning. I want quality parts so that this build can mature over time. I believe that the new architecture and the new ram sizes will allow this maturation.

I am a bit worried about fitting two r9 295x2 with the board that i chose. i am open to changing that for the proper config
