Got a budget in mind? I can see this one ending up somewhat expensive

Go big or go home!

Hmm... struggling with monitors - OCUK only do 1 30" 1080p monitor and you're going to struggle getting Quadros with the right connections.

I've specced with 1600p Dells instead but I'm not sure the K2200 will have the grunt for 3 of them.

I think that the RAM's ECC (searched OCUK for a known set of Crucial ECC but then again the search feature is useless!)

TBH if this is being used on a professional level then you may well be better buying a prebuilt graphic workstation so you've got known compatibility, better stability and decent support.
