SSD would only be in RAID mode for redundancy, not performance on a home rig. Keep the best of the SSD and sell the others.
You'd be better off with a single GTX1070 / GTX1080 than any of those dual options for gaming. You'd also be able to sell the huge PSU and buy an efficient 600W one.
Sell all of the other cards and buy one of the above.
But that's just my opinion ____________________ Module 1 and 2 passed - October 2014. Happy owner of a 2017 Z1000SX, ex owner of a YBR125 / CB500 / VFR800. |

Don't buy a new, nor used, high end GPU now. The miners made them ridiculously expensive. That being said, if you don't want to wait for the prices to drop, even a modern GTX1060 would do better job at much lower power consumption than any of those cards, that you've listed. GTX1060 is a perect 1080p/60Hz gfx card.
CPU/MB: I'd go for the I7 5820k, for the future OC possibility, when the chip gets old and slow. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

My main gaming PC uses a rampage 4 mobo.
It's very good in every way, other than that the 2011 socket is a bit restrictive in terms of cpu options at a budget.
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm far from a gaming nerd, so by good, I mean things like the bios works with my wireless keyboard and mouse and has WAY more options than I even know where to begin with.
Mines paired with a gigabyte G1 GTX1060, 16gb of RAM (on a single stick), and a low end i7 processor. It's far from an ideal set up in many ways, but still plays all my games with settings up to full (at 1080, not 4k) without making a fuss. ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

I was wondering WTF was going on (been looking to upgrade) I thought it was mainly AMD cards they were after? |
It was AMD cards at first, they seem to be better at mining. But, when those got out of stock, people started to buy GTX 1070 and 1080 cards as well. There are still quite a lot of GTX 1050Ti and GTX 1060 cards on the market. But beware and do your research first, some vendors sell the 1050Ti and 1060 for 30% and more, above the actuall market value.
The used GPU market is the same. People sell their 1070, 1080 and the top of the range RX cards for ridiculous amounts of money.
I got my GTX 1050Ti in December 2016 for about £120, just the other day I checked some local vendors, who are now selling the same GPU for £225.
EDIT:
There are 3 outcomes in this situation.
1) GPU manufacturers raise their production to cover the demand,but they'd be stupid to do so, because when the bubble bursts, they'll be left with ''unwanted'' hardware which would lead to significant price drops, bellow the pricing we were used to before all this.
2) GPU manufacturers decide to make specific mining cards (cheap, as you don't need display ports and other features)
3) GPU manufacturers won't do a thing and wait for when all this is over. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
