Bottom line is this...if true professionals wanted to fuck around building their own PC, and providing their own support then this would have been the norm far before Apple came long. Obviously, this is not the case.  So you can go on your PCPartPicker site and build whatever the hell you want and it still isn't going to come close to what the Mac experience is. The end result is more than the sum of the parts that go inside the the computer (Mac or PC)...its far more than that. If this wasn't the case then Apple wouldn't be where it is today in the Professional field and they wouldn't continue to use their products. 

I have a feeling that the iMac Pro will end up selling very well because it appeals to a very broad base. If you feel you need more than the iMac Pro, its coming. If maybe you can't wait, get the iMac Pro and when the new Mac Pro arrives, sell the iMac Pro for pretty much exactly what you paid for it, and buy the Mac Pro and whatever display you want. You really won't be out much in the end if anything. 

Time is money for them and being their own IT Technician is a huge waste of their time. The build posted by @VRing is not going to make massive amounts of Professionals switch their all of their shit to Windows. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NGV9sJ

I don't think that many pro's will build their own PC's, but they'll look closely at workstation from vendors like HP.  They have done an excellent in keep their systems up to date.  And many of their modelos are far more capable than Mac Pros and the iMac Pro.  Apple could learn a lot from HP, specially in the workstation market.
