Well, if we're talking about dream builds and completely unrealistic..

Just look at the price :P

Wouldn't two 690s already be quad SLI because each cards are basically two 680s? I may be wrong though hahaha I've never done a multi GPU set up.

Pretty sure you can't run 8 way sli.

someone prove me wrong, but I've never seen it.

also iirc the HP zr30w and lp3065 had less input lag over the u3011.

Will work for electronic components and parts

Pretty sure I recall someone running 4 690s before. Even though it's dual gpu, I'm pretty sure it's recognized as a single card.

4 is the maximum GPU's one can run in a single system, so only two 690's or four 680's.

Dude.. there isn't enough PCIe slots on that mobo for four PCIe ssd's and two 690's. This build makes no sense at all...

Intel Core i3 3220

ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP

Samsung Green 8GB DDR3

Gigabyte Windforce HD7770

Samsung 830-series 240GB

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200.14

Asus Xonar STX

Seasonic G-series 360w

Bitfenix Shinobi White

Bitfenix Alchemy Green LED strips

Phanteks PH-TC90LS (White)

3x Noctua NF-P12's

I hardly run any hardware-intensive apps any more, so I'd much prefer improved power efficient and aesthetics over anything.

Without being a total idiot and wasting cash id probably just swap to something like a TJ07 and custom loop my current PC

however this I suppose is the real dream (still without being too stupid about it)

I've always preferred modest builds, so here is what I'd actually consider a dream build .

CPU: FX 8350 overclocked to 5.5 Ghz on Water .

GPU: 2 HD 8970s in Crossfire, OCed & water cooled .

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

Storage: 8 Samsung 840 pro 512 GB Solid State Drives .

PSU: Seasonic 1250W 80+ Gold .

RAM: 2x8GB Kingston HyperX Beast .

Watercooling: Custom loop with one 3x120 rad @ the top and one double thickness 2x140 @ the front with clear tubes and UV red dye .

XPSC Raystorm (RED LED) Waterblock for the CPU, & XSPC Razor (RED LED) GPU blocks.

Case: CM Storm Stryker, custom painted dark red .

My build : Glamor Shot.  Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion.

Mine is somewhat modest also, and it's still more power than I'd ever need:

CPU: AMD FX 8350 overclocked as high as it'll go

MB: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z (is there any other choice for an AMD dream build)

GPU: x2 MSI R7970 or x2 8970

RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866

Sound Card: Asus Xonar Essence STX PCI express

Storage: x2 Samsung 840 pro 128GB in RAID 0

Storage: x4 Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM in RAID 10

PSU: Corsair AX1200i

ODD: Asus Blu Ray burner

ODD 2: Asus Blu Ray drive

Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE, red

Case: NZXT Phantom full tower, red

Price right now: about $3500 USD

A few notes, I'm not sure if my RAM is compatible with my CPU cooler, probably isn't. It doesn't matter, there's no way I'm building this. I use multiple ODD's often, but not for blu-rays. This is why I'd have a burner and a reader. Finally, this is a dream general purpose or gaming build, if I was looking to do serious work on a computer my dream build would contain dual Xeon's :)

"Wisdom III" AMD FX 8120 @ 4.1Ghz // Biostar TA990FXE // 16GB GeIL Black Dragon (8x2) // Saphire HD 7870 OC Edition // CORSAIR TX850M // Curcial M4 64GB (boot) // Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5TB (storage) // Cooler Master Hyper N 520 // Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Oh yes, I forgot my operating system: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Add $140 to that total

Never had issues with that. I found liquid cooling more of a headache personally. But phase change uses crazy power and the unit is super heavy
