If you won the lottery, would you build an overkill pc?

No. I'd stash the money away and save it.

There's a difference between overkill PC and just expensive components. An H100i on a $13000 PC seems like a massive waste to me, as well as the CPU and GPU choices not making any sense. 

 

If it was several million, then yeah, I'd probably build an insane gaming system, a workstation and media PC, all custom watercooled. Then I'd probably invest the majority of it.

No. I'd buy a very good pc, capable of doing anything I need it to swiftly. That doesn't mean just wasting money on overpriced components or stuff I don't need. I don't need a 12-core xeon. In fact in games it would probably perform worse than a 5820k (which is what I would ACTUALLY get). And buying 4 graphics card that are overpriced even individually when in 3 years I'll change them is truly unnecessary (besides at that point I'd wait a bit for amd's new lineup...).

 

The rest would go partly in an emergency bank account for, well, emergencies, partly in a house for me, partly in savings for future bills and the rest would probably go to charity.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I'd save it up for later, when I can actually use it.

I would get a nice, older used Volvo. Then get some Noctua fans, then invest!

I'd call Linus and tell him to go freaking wild and build the best, baddest system possible with all the crap he and the guys could dream up.  Hell, I might get two of them built.
