Donate it to charity and take the extra 4,000 tax return...

What is the main thing you would do if someone handed you this PC build? Only rule is you cannot sell anything. I didn't include a mouse or keyboard as everyone has their own preference.

I am asking this to get an idea of what the point is of having something like this is?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nNXyvK

id give my actual pc to someone who needs it, and taek that instead.

 

[DeadEyeKozi]

Get bullied by my friends for using such cheap components

[Brightglaive]

WOW! Once I got some storage in it or attached to it......That's kind of an easy answer. Video editing comes to mind easily. 3 gamers 1 computer also would work. Buy some storage or an external RAID Array and you could use it as a storage server. A massive web, file, or mail server also comes to mind OR my personal favorite, one hell of a Kicka$$ gaming computer once you add 2 Raid 0 SSDs and and two 6TB hard drives in Raid-1. 

 

Personally I would look at video editing, RAID array and Gaming setup with a virtualized 3gamer/1box arrangement.

(usd) $2700 and this is my dream build

so...affordable? lol

[verydogesuchwow]

how conservative and low cost!

[N_Bot]

Eh. Would get 980 ti Instead, as well if that is your budget, a bigger SSD. And a different case. Maybe a Define R5 or h440.

[Jidonsu]

Damn, that ram....

 

I think I spent less than that on my liquid cooled build. 

[HPWebcamAble]

You should absolutely get a 980 ti or two. Unless you want to be like Jayztwocents and get 3 titan's for no good reason (he probably didn't pay for them himself)

 

And unless you'll be running a ram drive or something like that, there's no reason to get 64 gigs of ram. 32 gigs is already overkill.

 

Finally, since you have such a large budget, I'd recommend a larger SSD. At least 500 gb.

 

[VirusStorm]

lol im not actually building it.....maybe one day lol

[Dyelon21]

I dunno, I would get a 980 Ti like N_Bot said and 64 GB of RAM on a 6700k is pretty pointless. Honestly 16 GB is probably fine, but at least drop it to 32. Everything else seems fine though.

[CrackheadKyle]

All yours for a mere $5500 well in my dreams for a while but yeah it's still great just to imagine 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7p9Pbv

[suchamoneypit]

What the hell kind of dream $5500 PC has only 3 GPUs that are only 390Xs and only has a 6 core  xeon processor with 6TB of storage. I can get a $70 8 core xeon that would outperform that 6 core $550 one.

put in a 5960X on this thing and a fourth 980 ti and it would annihilate that build. wouldn't even be a competition.
