I've just been messing around to see what i could buy for $5k while complying with the current build off Rules (Week 45/46). I realize that these are very impractical builds however can anyone make any builds that are more impractical and bottle-necking than these.

 

Option 1 Impractical

 
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2640 V2 2.0GHz 8-Core Processor  ($884.33 @ TigerDirect) 
         Intel Xeon E5-2640 V2 2.0GHz 8-Core Processor  ($884.33 @ TigerDirect) 
CPU Cooler:  Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($89.99 @ NCIX US) 
                       Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($89.99 @ NCIX US)

Memory:  Corsair XMS 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR3-1333 Memory  ($575.84 @ NCIX US) 
Video Card:  MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card  ($669.99 @ Micro Center) 
Monitor:  Dell P2815Q 30Hz 28.0" Monitor  ($554.99 @ Amazon)

Total: $4698.47
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
