Hello guys and gals, I decided to write on LinusTechTips because I've seen that the community here is big and Linus suggested it for builds and suggestions. So..I just happen to be a really lucky guy and have a lot, a LOT of money at the moment to waste. So the thing is, I want to build my own PC in order to enjoy gaming at its full effect. I want the most utterly overkill gaming PC that you guys can come up with, including monitors (2 is preferred) keyboard, mouse, headset, gaming chair if you guys know any and IF you guys know, any really good big size desks since I can't find anywhere. I know that when you say overkill, watercooled PC's come in mind but I really don't know how to work with watercooled PC's.. I know stuff about hardware, components etc but not really watercool since I never really had the time and money to put effort into buying and building. So..I hope you guys can help, budged is UNLIMITED, I want the most OVERKILL thing, location is UK. Thanks, and glad to be a part of this community.

You're not gonna get the nicest response to this on here buddy.. And you seem a little flashy, just saying. Welcome to the Forums, but you're gonna have a hard time talking like that :P

Why that? Do I sound cocky? I didn't mean to..wow

Not exactly, you do lay on the edge though.. It's more the fact most people on here are more into *bang for buck* as opposed to *Holy crap my PC is so OP it's worthless*.

When saying that I mean that I don't know how to do it on my own, you're right though, should I also try iBuyPower?

Here I've put together a basic draft of over the top crap for you.. It may or may not destroy the universe but hey, I'm here to help..

Why a 4960X? Why wouldn't you go with a 5960X? And you'd be better off with 4-way GTX 980s than with 2 Titan Z's.

I should clarify that these would be 8GB 980s.  OH. Just realized that you were going for ridiculously expensive and not performance. Gotcha.

BTW case is just personal choice you can choose anything pretty much if you aren't doing a custom loop

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?
