Hi guys, So i have $6400.00 to spend tomorrow/tuesday on a new computer just before christmas. I want it for a gaming computer, so far the system im looking at building is at $5400.00

The SSD is obviously for operating system and game installs, 2 of the nas drives are for raid mirror for storage and the left over hdd is for system snapshots and additional backup.

( i already have new mouse, dvdr/blue ray and mechanical keyboard etc )

Would really appreciate some feedback and possible improvements to the system before handing over the cash. I have a wholesale account so still have a bit of room.

get a gtx780. you'll have 75% of the titan for a fair bit less cash.

you will jism everywhere with the dell 30. i did :)

I'm sure it'll be great but $5400 for a PC seems excessive..

so is 32GB of RAM.

Thanks, great suggestions ph33x

$5400 on a PC? Spend $3400 and save $2000 for lady or 2.. The working kind of lady ;)

Buy a mid-range PC that'll play all games just fine and save that money.

But if you really must:

Dell 30" U3014 UltraSharp IPS Monitor – 2560x1600, 6ms USB3.0 HDMI DisplayPo

You're going to buy a super gaming rig that'll get you a lot of FPS but you're going to watch it on a 60hz screen. That makes no sense.

Dude, 120hz or don't even bother. Size isn't everything. 27" 120hz is what you want.

Didn't even know you could still spend that much on a PC ...

and a 8-ball of coke

Lol it was a gift. I can't use the money for anything else.

I'll look over suggestions and come up with a build. Thanks all.
I'll build it myself, been building pcs for over two decades.. I have a few wholesale accounts with main suppliers. Sourcing the CPU might be the hardest part locally

Buy yourself a f*****g amazing PC for $3k and spend the rest on coke and hookers.

You can spend way more. There are cases in the $1,000 to $3,000 mark alone. A massive dual Xeon setup can cost over $15,000.

In fact the 3930K/4930K are a good bang for buck chip at that upper level. ($500-$600) The Xeon chips around them (performance wise) are well over $1,000 per chip and the multipliers aren't even unlocked which makes them tough to overclock. BF4 uses 12 cores on these CPUs which highlights how the industry is taking on multi-core gaming. The old "you don't need more than 2/4 cores" thing is getting pretty redundant now.

Just comes down to how much overhead someone wants for the future.

Red drives are designed for Network Attached Storage.

You could get a better result with 2 660's in SLI i am at a loss as to why you would need so many HD's and a solid state drive unless you plan to install a gazillion games and then back them all up,which is not necessary if they are steam games eg i just installed Half life 2 on W8.1 and Valve kindly loaded all my saves and achievements from XP.

My XP build a mini ATX, 2 gig ram GTX 560ti, intel P4 800wt psu the point being you don't need something that could be used for folding home for playing games.

(ps).You may as well get 3 monitors and play your games in 3d.

yeah I agree with ph33x.

Cheange the ram, get another SSD, use 2x 780 TI, change cpu cooler.


That would be the ultimate gaming pc at this time.

Trust me. Why? Because I have spent over 5k on my PC build also

Ok so this is the build im thinking of picking up the parts for today. Once again thank you all for your input:

hehehe

Who uses HDMI at all anyway? It's s***. DVI all the way baby.

Get a modular psu @80+ gold, mine is a 800 wt Silent pro gold.

And don't listen to the naysayers about msy they don't make the stuff they sell and they have a high turnover so you will almost always get the latest gear.

The problem is choosing the best solution for your self, personally i do research over a period of many months reading reviews and the wait is always worth it.

PS modular psu = you only connect the device's you have installed which frees up space in your machine for better air flow and it doesn't look like a mad woman's breakfast of loose cables inside.

Meh gaming rigs, that's cute

I wanna do an upgrade because it's fun putting a new PC together although I only play WoW these days so it would be a waste.

well you certainly should not use HDMI for its audio capability - far better digital cables for that (assuming your music server and DAC has those digital terminations available to use but then there are adapters like USB to SPDIF etc)

You need to understand that the best 5.1 audio that comes out of a computer is converting the uncompressed multi-channel PCM signal found directly on the PCIe bus. If you run PCM through optical cables, you are limited to 2 channels unless lossy-compression is used. PCM > All.

I wanna do an upgrade because it's fun putting a new PC together although I only play WoW these days so it would be a waste.

WoW on the system below still runs at 40fps in the Shrine. Boggy old game engine, runs nice in 10/25's though.

------------

I think 2 Titans was a waste. 2x 780Ti's would beat them by a decent margin, and you could have bought 3 for the price of 2 Titans, not that you'd want to try and run 3 cards on a 4770K. Clock up and show the scores.

I can't believe ph33x got sucked into the void that is RuleofBooKz audio cosmos if we can believe it, RuleofBooKz has a rape dungeon filled with wall to wall egg cartons and an audio system built by trained monkeys that is capable of sending him into a state of transcendental bliss,ergo he is now omnipotent.
