i went with 3 x 780's to push a resolution of about 12,000 x 2,000 :)

 

a 480GB SSD in RAID 1 with an identical drive. 

 

2 x VelociRaptors in RAID 1 for a total of 2TB 

 

64GB of 2133Mhz RAM so i can have a 40GB RAMDisk (and well, because i can)

 

EVGA 1500W SuperNova because I need UBER power.

 

i have Watercooling at $1200 and that might or might now include cooling the GPU's. they look so perfect as they are already...

 

Win7 Ultimate because i need RAM recognition 

 

 

Your turn :D

 

We dont want to have some jumbled mess of random chaos that states "an SSD"

 

so

PLEASE try and keep your post organized by using PCPartpicker's BBCode Markup.

 

Just copy & paste from the popup window

I'm guessing you accidentally a number...

Can you rephrase that please? Not quite sure what you are trying to ask. Do you want to know if I accidentally put in the $0,000.00 number? Well...no I didn't. Twas on purpose.

I assume the OP is saying "what would you build if money weren't an issue". So go crazy because you get anything you want for free.
