The Ultimate PC?

[Edward Stanbury]

Hey everybody i'm planning on building a killer PC that is ready for anything well mostly gaming and video editing etc and of course bragging rights

So im making this thread to ask for recommendations just to make sure i don't overlook anything and that i've seen all my options you know the drill

 

Budget: $15000NZD max willing to spend a lot less! (Location New Zealand) Money is not an issue with this build i've been saving for a long time

 

Aim: As stated above, video editing, and gaming on the latest titles maxed out, a 4K ready system would be amazing.

 

Monitors: i've got that sussed no need to suggest anything there

 

Peripherals: Again i've got that sorted

 

Why? Because its time for a new build that I can enjoy for awhile haha you don't want to know what i'm gaming on at the moment :L

 

And finally full watercooling is an option too that i'm willing to undergo, silence is up there on the list but not too much of an issue, as long as its not a hair dryer im okay with it

 

Opps I forgot to mention this build is a maybe as i'll possibly be going off to basic training next month, i'm on standby at the moment but if thats not happening just yet ill have half a year off to enjoy this beast. And if I do end up getting the call i'll be digging up this thread during the mid year to check out all the new hardware!

don't buy a pc for that price.

get a car, a 4k tv, hookers, and a decent pc

[nsyedhasan]

I'd say wait and see what the next gen GPUs have to offer. Also speed only about 2500$ not 15000$.

[LapX]

4930K, Rampage IV Black Edition, 3 GTX Titans in SLI, a shitload of ram.

 

(basically the PC nvidia used to show off 4K Surround)

I'm not sure how much parts cost in NZ, but $15000 NZD is about $12500 USD, I don't think spending that much on a system is a good idea. You could get a killer $3500 rig and keep the rest for upgrading later.

[Anthrax]

You don't need to spend THAT much on a PC... There is a point of diminishing returns and it hits pretty hard. However it is your money, feel free to do as you wish. I just advise not to pull a swifty and spend unnecessary amounts of money.

It's probably roughly a 10K USD rig.

Quick example titans are $1700

Edit : That being said it's still a crap load to spend.

[miyabwah]

Are you sure you want to do this? PC parts become obsolete fairly quickly.

[Edward Stanbury]

ok I probably should have said that thats the max, im more than willing to spend a sh*t load less haha :L but i do gotta tell ya prices in NZ are not the cheapest in comparison but hey still open for anything!

[SJBijzitter]

Buy me a planeticket to NZ please

[Edward Stanbury]

Don't know if this is a serious post or a troll or just plain hypothetical imagination. 

fully serious bro (:

[UnderADyingSun]

I somehow doubt he has that amount of money to spend, or that he intends to build a PC. 

 

OP, go buy a lathe, and a really nice piece of 6x6 hardwood. Fashion it into something that closely resembles a cucumber. Coat it in 24kt gold, fashion a a rigid base to the bottom ( titanium since you're so ballin' ) and then SIT ON IT

[ShadowRaven]

I would wait for the new products being developed as of ces 2014

I would say a 4770K, a 780 Ti, 16GB of Ram, 3 TB HDD with a 256GB SSD (one or two), a nice power supply, an R4 or 750D, some water cooling, Cherry MX keyboard, a nice Razer mouse, a monitor or two, maybe a desk, and Windows 8. That should fit you for a while.

 

Sorry, I can't link a parts list right now, but I can tomorrow.

 

Finally a serious response lol thank you! great suggestion

Another awesome suggestion thanks bro! I could see myself fully watercooling that badboy for sure

[Edward Stanbury]

Sure. I would probably add another 780 Ti if you can and maybe some more ram if possible. Other than that, it looks good.

for sure bro that looks to be the most reasonable way to go for price per dollar performance !

[Edward Stanbury]

Here is a random build then

http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/2Fnz8

thanks man! starting to see a trend here everyone loves the 900d haha then again linus is corsair sponsored and plenty of space for a custom watercooling loop if need be. 

[Vader]

Another awesome suggestion thanks bro! I could see myself fully watercooling that badboy for sure

Yeah i didnt add the cost of water cooling in because if you're spending that much on a PC, why get an AIO cooler? Also, i would of added another titan, but NZ doesnt have PSU's over 1200w apparently lol

[Edward Stanbury]

ikr! its depressing haha ill just have to import one if i decide to go quad sli, only problem would be driver support but with titans i guess they sorted that out for now, and for the 780ti's i wouldnt have a clue I havnt seen many tests done in quad i guess the jump from 2+ is only minute anyways

[Edward Stanbury]

Here ya go.

I do recommend waiting to get the 4K monitors coming out soon, though.

oh wow that is actually a really decently priced build! and yeah ill definitely be waiting for 4k if everything goes to plan thanks again bro
