I bought a I7 with 24GB or RAM 6 years ago. I can open about 100 files (32MB each) in CCD Stack and work with them quite comfortably. I had do get a liquid cooler for the CPU though early in the piece as it was overheating under heavy load when encoding videos with AE. So I got a corsair unit with a small radiator. Still does the job today. ASUS motherboard. NVIDIA graphic card, quite old GPU now. An old GeForce of sort. Unless you do gaming and you need highres realtime rendering, you won't need a fast card. RAM is more important to manipulate large files. Why do you need so many drives? SSD for the primary boot makes sense as it's faster, then SATA standard drives for storage, 2TB are quite cheap now. I wouldn't even contemplate a RAID for a personal PC, it' s a pita to maintain and resync in case of failure. I had a RAID5 on three drives for a while then ditched it.
