Yeah agreed, take the Skylake road, its more future proof. Also, I'd take a R9 390X cause it performs better than the Nvidia in DX12 scenarios. But that's a totally personal choice.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Pnn2K8 My take on the perfect rig for your needs. Choose a case and monitor to your preference. Edit: case updated with support for front usb3 access

or you could go lower to a R7 250 which doesn't need external power

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r7250xcgf4 I think this is as good as it gets for the price The R7 250X

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r7360p2255 Great for casual eSport games

In that case you should really look at AMD's R7 line up of GPUs. Give us a budget and we'll dig up something good for ya

Even a GTX950 will be withheld by the Core 2 Duo?

The i5 should do just fine, in my opinion. Get the 4690K, a decent cooler and overclock the cpu a little. And get a better motherboard while you're at it. Since a H81 with an unlocked cpu is a big no no, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TKn2bv

In my case, it has to be F1 2000. I was four :")

Since everyone's sharing, I'll go too. The only modern computer i have had is my laptop that i got 3 days ago, before that, i had an Athlon 3000+ with 1gb ram and a 8400GS. Tough times

finally someone who understands my question :')

And what do you think of in the case of a single user who intends to use it for everything- games, encoding, rendering etc

that but with constantly upgrading the graphics over the years to come.

I know that hardly any games utilize more than 4 cores. Pls forget gaming, i'm talking about raw performance of a computer as a whole

Not a Nano Something like dual Titan Xs or anything. Just not 7 hungry cards. And forget gaming, I'm talking about raw power as a whole.

I mean the above setup exactly as it is, ie the dual Xeon cpus and everything. Just without the 7 gfx cards.

I meant as a single user, not 7 VMs. Remove the 7 Gpus, just a single is fine. Now.

I'm pretty sure many of us here are aware of the 7gamers 1 cpu rig linus had built. Those who aren't, here- Now my question to you all is- How relevant will this rig be? How many years would it last (not physically) but performance-wise? Forget the 7 R9 Nanos. Suppose you kept upgrading the rig periodically with the latest graphics. Without changing anything else. I wanna know your thoughts. I mean to ask, how long will this beast's raw CPU power be relevant with all its glory, according to you.

A major point to consider: Get a 6th gen i5 instead of the devil's canyon i7 and use that money to invest in a better gfx card than the GTX 960 For eg check this out-http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/sdgXsY/more-than-enough-skylake-gaming-build

but it burns through your bank account

I was 7 in 2005. I was hyped for getting my Nintendo DS

How about this. They both get a FX8350 and try to break the world record of the highest OC. Atleast they try. On a budget. Or any other cpu idk. The higher clocker wins. A test of each of their's skillz.

Since i'm considered invalid for this, I'd like to congratulate the lucky racer who gets the card

What will you use it for? Gaming-server-rendering?

or what you could do, is go to websites like xoticpc and ibuypower and configure your own laptop. Eg- http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-cx62-6qd-047us.html The base configuration has everything you need except the SSD, which you can add while customizing the laptop. Why this? Cause better bang for the buck.
