I actually threw together a build exactly in this price range yesterday for if I win the Oreo competition!
I assume you already have some nice monitors, but if not, I recommend the Dell 2560x1600s or the Yamakasi Leonidas (I spelled that wrong) 2560x1440 - the Yamakasi is a Korean monitor, but the quality is not any less than Dell's. Find it on Ebay for about $400 less than the Dell.)
Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HxPj
The only thing you might want to change is the RAM. You could easily lower the CAS latency by messing with the voltages a bit, but if you want easy, out-of-the-box low CAS, then look into something with CL9 or below. However, for 2133mHz, CL10 is reasonable. This would be a quad-SLI watercooled GTX Titan, 3970X, Rampage Extreme IV watercooled, INSANE computer. For editing, or anything, there isn't much that beats it. The soundcard is optional, but seeing as you are a film editor, it would help.
At that budget, you can make pretty much anything. If I win the Oreo competition, I will be building that :)
Cheers,
Brennan Riddell

And the total is $11,992.75 and this is probley one of the best computers this forum has ever seen..
@d3athgat0r And by best, you mean most expensive.
"Intel XEON" another Uber fail.
But should you consider the 690's an uber fail, that is the question.
Whats wrong with the xeon? and thanks everybody so far with the computers :)
I chose these parts (Xeon and 690's) Because if you are doing video editing the xeon are 8 core 16 thread each so 16 core 32 thread will be a beast for video editing and the 690's over the Titans is because they are better than the Titan, 1: is because they are cheaper and they are dual gpu each (Quad SLI) and the monitors I chose because I thoght they looked cool nothing more nothing less.
There is nothing wrong with them, they will do gaming and they will do editing and with this high of a budget might as well get the best there is.
No overclocking.... slower than Nvidia Quadro...
No real need to overclock with them, and the Quadro will not play games as well as a 690.
A 690 will not do work applications anywhere near as fast as a Quadro, and you can run 2 GTX Titans along side the Quadro for both uses...
690 is shit, and will remain shit...just like the rest of Kepler, weak bus width's and terrible compute power.
Get some hairy chested Fermi or Titan, and pair it up with a quadro.
A Quadro card and a GTX are rally different… they have actually the SAME chips in them, but the drivers are different… if you plan to work with professional 3d applications and you want to earn money with it a quadro is the way to go! They can handle millions of polygons in the viewport and you can see the displacement maps, the lightning, the physics and all runs smooth. However, On the consumer cards (the GTX’s ) they do the job, but they have problems… some things won’t even show up on the viewport while you are working and you can even experience crashes on the programs. Plus CUDA doesn’t work in cross platforms, you can’t have 3 GTX on SLI expecting to do something on 3d max or Maya, or whatever because the drivers and the programs don’t know how to do it… you need Quadro cards for that or a Quadro and some Teslas, Also you'll need Error-correcting code memory (ECC memory).
non-ECC , will not do for work applications… you can have a scene running on the ram , a 16gb file for example… and if some magnetic interference or pic of voltage comes in you can loss data. and your hours of work will go down the drain…
basically. Ditch all the gaming gear and build a decent workstation with workstation parts. Spend 8000
and with the other 2K build a gaming PC with gamming parts.
I got severely carried away. The build also went severely over budget and with shipping and everything, would likely cost like, 14 grand. But it is sooo cool. I really want someone to build this. Very badly.

Sorry, but they are not the same, they have similar architectures, but the design, implimentation and optimization of the different components is so different that it is laughable. The basic premise for the Titan is that it is more similar to a server/render card. This is basically then just using the same basic architecture while loading it down with CUDA cores (They actually increased the number of CUDA cores per processing group) And they added another multipurpose processing unit, which is similar to a floating-point processor. And they did redo the firmware to redesignate how the texture rendering units and the unified rendering units behave.
Also, CUDA is simply not optimized for SLI, it does work, just not quite as well. You CAN use any series of graphics card from Nvidia that has CUDA architecture to render things from software suites like the Adobe Creative Suite or 3DSM or any other Autodesk product. Obviously it won't do it as well as a dedicated workstation card, but unless you are doing batch renders or something with an absolutely bonkers number of polygons, then it really won't make a difference.
About ECC memory: you don't need it. This is designed for servers which have massive amounts of RAM that stays full almost perpetually. This is a method to counteract the charge flow that you experience as a semi-conductor experiences repetitive rapid fluctuations in current. If you aren't using it in a server, you really don't need it. Besides the fact that you can't find any that is faster than 1600 MHz, and it doesn't overclock.
Replace those 7970s with 680s or titans and replace the h100i with the swifttech h220
@mndless or anyone else really wouldn't 64gb of 2133mhz ram be as fast or faster than 96gb of 1600mhz ram?
Eh, the board happened to support it, and it was much easier to just add that many corsair dominator modules to liquid cool them than it was to add all of the RAM module adapters. You could just as well go with half the amount of faster RAM and get just as good results. I mean, if you wanted to actually build a super crazy water cooled rig based on the Titans you could just switch to an i7 series supported board and a six core i7 and the appropriately large amount of RAM and EK RAM mounting adapters. I really like EK waterblocks, so I want to see someone build a rig around them, and that motherboard just happened to have the CSQ series waterblocks.
Titans have more CUDA cores than the 690.
OK, well when I build it I'll make sure to make videos about it(whatever setup it happens to be)
