Video editing workstation / hackintosh build, advice please?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc

Video Editing primarily with some 3d work and hosting Virtual machines because that 24 bay Supermicro dual opteron I thought was such a great deal is too darn loud. Premiere Pro, After Effects, Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator. VMware Workstation. Hackintosh for Final Cut Pro. Some games Battlefield 4, Diablo 3. Star Citizen in the distant future. Folding for the Horde when I'm not using it for any of the above.

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?

Whatever it costs rather not spend more then around $2000 for everything else not including Motherboard, CPUs and Operating System and OS SSDs since those have been ordered or have them already.

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.

New Jersey, United States

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.

Case, RAM, PSU, blue Ray burner, Cooling, SAS Raid card, SSDs for Raid Array,

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.

Maybe AMD HD 6950 video card(worth holding out for 790, 870 or 880?)
Maybe 2 WD Black 2 tb raid 1 for data.

6) Will you be overclocking?

No Xeons are locked and this is a work machine.

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?

Two 24 inch Dell 2412M 1900x1200 each. Considering getting a 3rd for Surround/Eyefinity but I don't play that much Battlefield and video cards to support are pricey with little work benefit plus I would need a new desk. Only game on one screen.

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?

Next week.

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.

Already selected Motherboard but reliable dual socket motherboard with USB 3. Firewire. I like to use add on raid cards so will not be using onboard raid.

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?

Have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit license and OSX license to use.

Items without links/price I already ordered or have on hand.

Pricey but guaranteed to work and lifetime warranty. Should I be looking at other memory?

Hard Drive (HDD)
OS SSDs
2 Crucial M500 250 gb (1 for Win7, 1 for OSX)
Samsung might be faster but I just ordered these off the Hot deal.

Data drives
2x WD Red 4 tb $184 each
are these reliable or should I be getting blacks. I get 1 whole tb more for same price but 2 years more warranty on blacks sounds good.

Video/Graphics Card (GPU)
Reuse HD 6950 planning on holding out till GTX 800 series. AMD pricey right now beause of miners. How much is this 6950 holding me back on Battlefield 4 1900x1200? Nvidia card for cuda would be nice.

Sound Card
Is it worth getting a sound card? If so is soundblaster still the card to get? I have an old Soundblaster Audigy 2 with front panel so been out of it. I used to hook up my keyboard to the front bay of the soundblaster to record my music but I haven't done that in like a year since my soundblaster is on the fritz.

Any suggestions welcome please. Looking to order everything next week.

I would inquire at http://www.tonymacx86.com/home.php

They are very keen on certain manufacturers of parts that are directly compatible with the mac clones you are trying to build. The information available on exactly what to buy to get one working right the 1st time is key. I inadvertently bought then hacked instead of studying 1st then getting it to work and it cost me months of learning and heartache to make it work, but if you buy the recommended parts then setup is beyond easy.

Pretty much you don't really want to pick random parts like I did you want to buy exact part numbers.
