You won't need to spend nearly that much money to get something extremely relevant.

A 4930k, 32gb of ram, 2 780 or 2 290's will be extremely nice. You could do a custom loop as well.

For the monitor, I recommend the Asus pb278q. Great monitor and can be had for less than ~500$ in the US.

build a $2k rig and use the left over to ~~invest in stocks~~ get some hookers and blackjack.

Why $5,100? Not $5,000?

3000 pounds = 5100$

Ac2000 · June 24, 2014

Wanna spend all of it guys

Then spend it on other things, like extremely nice headphones and an amp+dac. Maybe a racing wheel, a new desk, speakers, etc.

[/quote wanna spend all

you sir are the equivalent of stupid by the mere utteration of that phrase. of all the rigs ive seen on here a top of the line rig will only run at most $3k. most people here will recommend something for $2k. there is literally no performance benefit by spending an extra $3k on a rig. go use the extra cash to invest in something and see an actual return on that cash instead of blowing it for the sheer satisfaction of it.

even still. after all the accesories you would still only be spending about $3.5-4k.

First of all what is the exact use of this PC because I hope it's for professional rendering not youtube or something like that way to overkill.

Tech_Dreamer · June 24, 2014

do you want a 4k monitor or standard res one?

Other hand these configs might help you

Daul xeon with watercooling

2 quadro k6000's

32gig ram (entry grade will suffice)

Workstation mobo

This will atmost will bring the budget to 4800 range the rest is upto you, you want a partpicker link postback, but it'll take time for me to sort through..

Professionally? because if not a 1.5k rig would do the job fine.

You could do something like this, but with a custom loop as well. If you don't want a custom loop, you could add in some really nice headphones and an amp+dac, for instance; Dt990, sennheiser Hd650, or HE-500 / 400.
