i think it kind of depends on what you want to do with it. I am a generalist and the system I would build:
- supermicro workstation motherboard
- 2x xeon 2660 v3
- 128gb ram
- nvidia titan or gtx 980. i would go with the 980 and save up some money here.
- 2x 500gb ssd or 1x 1tb.. depending if you want to install linux beside windows i would seperate them on 2 drives.
- few sata drives for storage
to be honest. if possible i would wait for the new processors.

seems like it will still take a while for them to release.
here you can see the best multi cpu performance https://www.cpubenchmark.net/multi_cpu.html [cpubenchmark.net]
hope it helps.
