It would be pretty easy to put together a hypothetical $20,000 rig by throwing in a few nice monitors.

What did you come up with for $3000 AUS?

I wouldn't use a SSD for storage - get a 2TB WD Black. I'd use an Intel 510 series SSD for the OS.

For a mobo, take a look at the Asus P8P67 WS Revolution - you can run SLI or Crossfire with two slots both at x16.
