Help with New PC Build for Premiere/After Effects

Question

Hello all. I am looking at upgrading a workstation at work. It is a 2010 Mac Pro. I am really leaning towards PC just for a few reasons. The upgrade flexibility, cost, and the rumors I hear are that Apple is going to no longer support the Mac Pro and move solely to iMac.

We work with Sony Fs5 and A7sii footage and often have 3-4 camera timelines so multicam function is important to me.

We also work with 4k footage from time to time and need seamless playback.

We use After Effects for motion graphics but nothing too heavy.

So here is what I am thinking.

i7 6900k

GTX 1080 TI

ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4 (Possibly 64gb)

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 Power Supply

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD

I will most likely get a liquid cooler for the CPU.

I will pull 2x 1 TB out of the existing machine for cache.

We use a dedicated network storage (Small Tree TZ-8) for all of our files

Thanks for any input!

i'd get the 10 core 6950x, 64GB ram, another SSD for OS. Cache shouldn't go on the really slow hard drives unless you want to wait for ingesting, conforming audio, and peak file creation for a long, long time. That would make a fast computer kind of pointless.
They would need to work in raid at least around evo speeds to not bottleneck the system.

Also, the 1080TI(which will create a lot of heat) is untested, so there's no guarantee it will work in premiere. I guess you'll be the test person for the rest of us
