1 or 2 graphics cards, 1 or 2 gb each would do, and 500gb ssd and a 250gb sata for programs. The ram would be good to 32gb and an Asrock motherboards best. Maybe a water cooling unit if you can afford it 
final cut pro is great as is vegas pro
athough you still need the 4k screen and graphics card able to edit 4k or your system will still crash  |
Different strokes for different folks I guess. I definitely think the more gpu's you have the the better your machine will run almost any gpu software. But also the amount of time it takes will be cut down huge. 1-2 GB of ram in GPU is small now. The new top of the line stuff has 8-12 GB ram. Ram is important for gpu. The more the better, you will notice the difference. As for the size of the hard drives that all depends on the needs of each user. I always like to have excess storage though.
Having more GPU processing power will speed up your video editing and encoding/transcoding far more than having ssd. SSD is great and better than normal hard drive, but if I was looking for an area to save money that's where it would be. Of course if you don't need to save then get SSD.
Get the new Generation of Core i7 6800k, its the best bang for your buck from the new generation of i7's, if you need cheaper you can look into certain e5 xeon's
Get 64GB of Ram, worth it in the long term
Get Whatever brand montherboard you think is best. I like EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI
Get multiple gpu's Stick with radeon rx480 or nvidia gtx 1060, 1070, 1080 depending on budget. Don't get older model stuff.
For the case, hard drives, optical drives, power supply, get whatever fits your budget.
I like EVGA brand personally because they have a real lifetime warranty and they actually honor it, I bought a $700 gpu back in 07 and they replaced it in 2013 with the new version top of the line.
