Here's what I had in mind:
CPU: Xeon E5 2650 v2
RAM: 4x16gb using RDIMMs right away, maybe another 64gb later
GPU: will only be needed for a year or two, but that still means I need a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot
HDD: SSD and 1x8TB initially, SSD and 8x8TB WD whites in RAIDZ2 eventually
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (therefore I need an ATX board)
