New system build [Want input]

Hello there!
So, I've decided to build a new computer, and I want the (reasonably priced) BEST!

I've picked out the parts which I think will be good, while maintaining a good price/performance ratio.

Current approx. Price [37300 NOK|| 5700 USD]

Shoppinglist (In Norwegian, same names though):
https://www.komplett.no/k/shoplist....09269&su=1E6760E1-E62B-40C1-A7C4-7EE4624D69A9


What I will be using this system for:
Gaming, Recording, Editing, Rendering, 3D Modeling and animation, Virtualization of a business environment etc.
(This system is supposed to max every game 1080p, possibly 3x1080p (and maybe som 4k gaming, don't expect high/ultra quality), while being as close to silent as possible)

SSD is for OS + Main programs/Games, might add another one and RAID0(Running automatic backup to the RAID5/10)

The 4 4TB WD Red drives I want to have in RAID5 or RAID10

On my current PC, I have a problem with running RAID0 on two 64GB SSD's, while keeping my 3rd SSD (OS disk) out of any RAIDs, the PC just bluescreens before loading windows. I've installed all the (presumably) correct drivers. I don't want a problem like this with this new computer, so it needs to be able to run:
OS Disk non raided (or Raid 0)
AND
Massive, safe storage (RAID5 pref.)
+ potentially more "loose" disks that might come and go as I see fit, non raided.

The key aspects: Silence, high end gaming(Including overclocking), Media production, AND STABILITY/HAZZLEFREE setup.

So... I would love some input on:
Will these parts work as intended with eachother(Compability/Stability)?
Can you see an immediate bottleneck?
Is there any parts you would reccomend over what I've chosen?
Do you have any experiences with any of the parts I've chosen?

Note: I've never used an UPS before, but because of the cost of the build, I think that justifies the extra protection. (Do you know if the UPS in question is loud? I want my room to be as quiet as possble.)

100 views and no comments, guess this build is good to go 😀

Follow up question that popped into my head...

Do any of you know if/when new Intel i7 (hex core minimum), NVIDIA GPUs (better performence or value than 970) or faster/bigger capacity RAM than the current DDR4 might come out?

If it's relatively soon (Nov. 2014 -> February 2015) then I might wait.
 
You posted in the middle of the night US time, which is probably why you didn't get any replies. Also, your link got broken, probably when you edited it.

Edit: Here's the fixed link: https://www.komplett.no/k/shoplist....09269&su=1E6760E1-E62B-40C1-A7C4-7EE4624D69A9

Ah, forgot about the time zones.. T__T'
Thx for the link update, didn't notice that :O

Also, this is not the first thread for this build 🙂.

And that is true... I saw that you requested a mod to move my post from Computer help, but since it didn't happen I thought I might just as well post it here and see if more people had suggestions 🙂
Thx again for the awesome feedback Cerb! Let's hope the fans will be able to get rid of the heat 😛

Crossposting is frowned upon. If a move has been requested, wait for it to go through instead of posting a new thread.
