Let's not go there please, I can only end badly.

 

The way I see it, you've got a lot of reading to do in order to learn everything you need abuot current computer components and computer building, so I suggest you start ASAP.

 

You can start by going on youtube and subscribing to linus tech tips channel, where you can learn everything you need to know about this subject.

over the years probably yes.

 

[mvitkun]

over the years probably yes.

no,I mean 10k of that 15k.

Set 1,500 aside for a real beast gaming machine. Buy any monitor you like and then use the rest of your money on a car.

 

 

You're going to be real mad when your 10k rig is worthless in a few years...

He can then save up $30k for another PC ;) but you do have a point. He already preordered the ASUS 4k monitor.

I think that he should still spend around $2-2.5K on the pc.

 

any more and our just spending tons extra on SSD's and HDD's

I think he was talking about running four ati 7990's in CF, am I wrong or can they only run in 2xCF?

? he said 4x7990 in Crossfire. If you went that route, you will have to use dual Xeons I think.

aah, now i get it, well, theoretically, yes. although I don't know if anyone ever tried it

[REDARROWS1]

 

Okay in all seriousness, I'll help you now. 

 

- What will you be using this PC for? Gaming only?

- Does the price include peripherals like monitors, mouse, keyboards, ect.?

- Will you need large storage solutions? 

 

yes i will need large storage and the price is just for the pc the monitor is on preorder and the peripherals are separate mainly for gaming but the very occasional cad rendering

So many commas in one sentence!

Come on man, this is not a linguistics forum. I don't even bother with capital letters most of the time. As long as everyone understands me...

I know, I wasnt correcting you... I just never saw this many commas in a sentence.

So much about the ultimate gaming PC :D

 

I'd like to raise another question, one that maybe cannot be answered right now: Are 4 threads enough for gaming right now and in the forseable future?

 

I think they definately are.

[jscho]

Just because you have the money, it doesn't necessarily mean you need to spend $15,000 on a PC. And you're gonna be doing 4K gaming. A few Titans will get you close enough. But in all seriousness, spend the other ~5k on something else. Get an X79 system with a 3970X if you really want it, watercool the beast, overclock, then you'll be set.

Most games dont use hyperthreading as of now, iirc. I think 4 threads would be sufficient.

Ahh, I didn't see that.

As long as he spends as much on the video card as everything else. I think he should do one modest build for fun and practice (this is OP's first build, right?), then a show build.

Petrol then. Is it fuel or petrol across the pond? I don't want to be ignorant.

 

But really... Spend your money smart and you'll have a much better pc. See my reply above. Oh and Gz on the 4k screen if true!

4 threads are sufficient now, 8 threads are redundant/overkill, but what about in 2 years?

 

Personally I don't think games will be any more CPU dependant then they are now, so 4 threads will probbably be enough.

You here me trolling, seriously 10 grand is trolling
