PS.: Please don't draw Apple IMac Pro or Mac Pro into this inquiry... I was in an Apple Store today and found myself NOT COOL enough for Apple... I was feeling really uncomfortable and intimidated with the overall coolness in their store... Even the dudes in their late 50s wearing sneakers and shit and drinking Starbucks coffee looked and moved cooler then me and I really don't consider myself as an uncool guy at all. Perfectly trimmed full beards oh man... never knew one could look that cool. I never saw people with this level of coolness before...

Don't bother with dual cpu systems. Everything is more expensive and it's more problems to deal with. Also, those xeons are $2k each...why would you buy a less powerful, expensive CPU when you can get a single i9 9900k for $500 and will be much better suited for editing because of the high 5ghz clock speeds which can be reached. The 9900k is a beast.
I've built many systems for 3d animation, rendering and editing through the years and one thing I will never do again is get a dual CPU system. It was good back in the day before Intel started stacking cores, but now it's not necessary unless you like the idea of spending more money. Also, a new Nvidia gtx 1080 gaming card will work just as well as a Quadro ( which costs way more). Quadros are for suckers.
You can take my advice, or waste your money. If you struggle for those bucks, don't throw them down the toilet.
