I would build 5 $2500 Game Development PCs. For making games. And then save up for money to hire the people to make it xD.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I don't need 13k for my dream build..

2k is more than enough

im guessing the OP meant it to be a dream setup rather than a build.

Early 2020 Build : Intel i7 8700k // MSI Krait Z370 // Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Aorus 5700 XT // NZXT H500 

Early 2019 Build : Ryzen 2600X // Asus Tuff X470 // G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8x2 16GB // MSI RTX 2070 // NZXT H500 

Late 2017 Build : Intel i7 8700k // Asus Prime Z370-A // G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 16GB // EVGA GTX 1080 Ti  // NZXT S320 Elite 

Late 2015 Build : Intel i7 6700k // Asus Maximus VI Gene Z170 //  Corsair LPX 8x2 16GB // Gigabyte GTX 970 // Corsair Air 240

but oh boy where do I start for a 13k $ setup

 

I'd obviously have a SLI 980 Ti, 6700k in a custom loop for the build this would cost around 4-5k 

 

I'd have dual Acer Predator X34 Curved IPS they cost 1.3k a piece so both would be 2.6k

 

thats about 8k already

 

I'd have an ikea desk and a DX Racer gaming chair both would cost around 500$ 

 

I'd have philips hue light pulbs everywhere 

 

and get a sick ambient light

 

and I'll waste the rest on camera gear 

 

such as a Sony A7S mark 2 and a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8

I would build various cheaper PC's and then sell them so I can get more money. I could then build an ultimate PC like the 7 Gamers 1 CPU build on Linus' channel.

My Rig:

Xeon E5 1680 V2 @ 4.5GHz - Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 Mobo - 64GB DDR3 1600MHz - 8 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance Low Profile - CAS 10-10-10-27 - AMD Radeon RX 6700XT Sapphire Pulse 12GB - DeepCool E-Shield E-ATX Tempered Glass Case - 1 x 1TB Crucial P1 NVMe SSD - BeQuiet Straight Power 11 850W Gold+ Quad rail - Fractal Design Celsius S36 & 6 x 120mm silent fans - Lenovo KBBH21 - Corsair Glaive RGB Pro - Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

 

Monitors - 3 x Acer Nitro 23.8" 1080p 75Hz IPS 1ms Freesync Panels = AMD Eyefinity @ 75Hz

Why would you use an ikea desk when you can buy a desk to build your PC into?

13k... dayum.   It would not go for a PC that's for sure. 3K to upgrade my rig would be easily too much.

 

Just get the best of the best but I don't need SLI cause it is under used in games anyways.

 

What is important to me is just CPU, RAM, best monitors and hard drive space and speed.

 

I don't care so much about the case or anything like water cooling. I could not spend 13k on a PC, just impossible.

 

Even 3K like I said would easily be enough. $500 on Vanatoo speakers. Get some crazy headphones....

I hope your title is a typo, because I didn't even think it was humanely possible to spell be like that...

I'd probably go hard line 3x sli 980ti classified, 5960x and a surface pro 4 i7+ razer blade 15.

on an iPad and in order to make a ? I have to press the up arrow and slightly above that is a so I pressed a instead of the arrow and it made Bea instead of be and I had to make another ? And I didn't realise my mistake of till later and I'm lazy

I honestly wouldn't dump all that money in a single computer. I could see myself spending it on a full blown complete home setup though, with 3+ machines scattered around and dedicated NAS and router. Even then I would probably go for used servers in some cases.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I'd do a 2k build and then use the rest wisely. Invest in a house or something.

I'd buy a $20 cheap PC case, install $12 980 of cash inside of it and pay off the majority of my student loans. :P
