Gamers Dream

[bobflanders86]

Budget: $5000.00 USD. Not willing to go over.

 

Aim: Purely Gaming. No video editing/recording.

Ultra settings on anything and everything is desired.

 

Monitor: one monitor 1440p or whatever games best.

 

Periphials: Need keyboard and mouse, gaming quality.

 

Why Upgrading: I have a ps1, playing metal gear solid over and over is getting boring. I refuse to buy another console.

 

I like the Corsair 900D case but not required. Plain looking is fine by me.

You don't need to spend 5k on what you just asked for.

Doesn't mean he can't.

Unless he wants dual Titan Z's... But that is very much overkill.

[Deletive]

Doesn't mean he can't. 

I know.

You could prob liquid cool the thing at that price

[Semper]

You could prob liquid cool the thing at that price

"Probably" liquid cool at $5000?

Not sure if trolling, or serious.

 

um... you can liquid cool your system for less than $200 with a closed loop (something like the glacer 240L), under $400 for a custom loop.

1500 would be enough for ultra 

[s4spencer]

You would likely be better off looking through some rigs already built by others, and choosing one you like best

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/builds/#P=4146,5080

 

afterwards come back and post the build, and see if you can get it personalized a bit more

It might edge pretty close for a dream machine though. Especially if you factor in the $800 for the Asus Swift monitor (which seems to make sense given his wants).

4k monitor included... You wouldn't really get much gain from a 5820k but maybe something from a 5930k. and a x99 motherboard but other then that you can't really get much else. 4 way sli scales like 10% so I wouldn't even bother.

You can save a lot by going with a smaller case, and different motherboard. I went with the case you said you liked, and a large motherboard...because I can't bear seeing unused space inside a windowed case.

I appreciate your help. Looking at computer specs is like reading Chinese. I tried making the most vague request possible so I could see what most people agreed on to give myself a good idea of what's what. I can't just ask questions cause newbie questions are so annoying, plus I don't know what questions to ask.

I think 2 of those graphics cards would get too hot too fast

[bobflanders86]

This one has the processor I originally thought was good. I kept getting recommendations that the processor was not good for gaming.

That mouse is crazy looking have you used it? Do you like it?

[bobflanders86]

What is the cheapest option for still getting ultra settings on all current games?

It is a massive waste of money for just a gaming pc. You don't need a cpu that powerful.

[the jolly roger]

yes they will get hot, but not hardware failure hot. that why they have 120mm AiO liquid coolers, because even giant air cooling isnt enough

[-TesseracT-]

I would spend a little less on the PC and more on the monitor and sound!
