I 100%+  agree..... You will need a  lots of dollars ($500+ USD probaly) to 
get a multilayer board done (8 layers probably) .

Why dont you purchase a development kit first and get experience with known 
working hardware and profesional software.

I know million dollar companies that would steer away from such complex 
designs, as in their experince..... they can see trouble coming!

As a much simpler alternative, buy an eval board for the processor and 
interface your parts to that.  You stand at least a reasonable chance of 
success if you get big important pieces pre-done and running out of the box.
