How big are the projects you will be working on? Your assumptions about the CPU are correct, though its worth noting that for projects with lots of photos/pixels, it might be worth having a few more threads for the AT. For RC though, clock speed is most important and those unlocked i7 XXXXk chips are great for it. I havent gotten a Kabylake chip to test yet but the Skylake chip I have performs very well, especially for the reconstruction. Also havent gotten the chance to test the new Titan X, but based on the benchmarks I have seen, im not sure its worth the extra cost. the 1080 performs very well ( scores 215+ w/ a 6700k) and it has been rumored for awhile that a 1080 TI will be released soon. I have tested a couple different RAM configs and haven't noticed any significant differences. Drive speed does make a difference. storing everything on an SSD will make a world of difference. Havent gotten the chance to personally test the difference between SATA vs M.2 but I have heard the difference is negligible.
