Building NLE system - HD setup clarifications

hey guys,

i'm build new system in order rid of q9550.

i've been reading harm's website lot, in order find compromise between performances , price.

 

i edit heavy dslr or avchd codecs on premiere cs6 upgraded cc, , avc-intra multicam (up 5) projects.

the biggest project i've had 500gb, work 60 100gb project @ time.
every clip gets 4 or 5 layers of effects (colorista, misfire grain/vignette, twitch etc.) before exporting.

 

the system i've in mind far based on harm's budget warrior low-end:

cpu: 4930k

mb: p9x79-e ws

gc: gtx660 2gb

(psu, case etc adequate)

 

• first question ram.

i'm looking @ 4x8gb (cosidering possibility of expanding 64gb total in future) frequency should use?

1866mhz or 2133mhz. i've seen rams seems me gaming-oriented rather ws oriented - should worry that? particular suggestion?

 

• the second hd setup.

i've read lot raid systems. i'm trying avoid raid controller save money, , i've came instead:

 

1. os+programs+pagefile: ssd 256gb (i have this)
2. media cache: ssd 120gb
3. projects: ssd 120gb
4. preview + exports: ssd 256gb
5. media files: hd 2x2tb in raid 0
6. backup: external e-sata hhds

 

every ssd 500mb/s read/write. configuration i'd spend around 600euro in storage (backup included), , i'll have 500mb/s system, 275 mb/s media files hds.

 

i haven't seen hypotesys mine around, i'm wondering: what i've thought wrong?

i feel i'm overlooking here.

 

any appreciated, lot!

i'd exports can go slowest drive, don't need ssd those.
