The OP mentioned that even True Pianos loads slowly.
This might be a tip-off that one of the drives is operating in PIO mode (which would absolutely kill performance).
If you're going to spend that kind of money on a machine:
You want your sample libraries on SSD. They'll load *far* faster... and you'll achieve 3 times the polyphony.
The GTX-980Ti and 128GB RAM aren't buying any additional performance.
Running 128GB RAM, some apps currently have problems.
We have a client who was having issues with VE Pro and Kontakt... where Kontakt wasn't releasing RAM when samples were removed from the project. The system would become "RAM starved" and start hitting the VM swapfile (which killed performance). His solution was to run two separate machines... each with 64GB RAM (while the issues are worked out). This composer pulls 4000 stereo voices (not a typo) of disk-streaming polyphony from a single machine.
