Just put 10,000 1tb ssd in a build simple.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Maybe I was slightly over exaggerating on that.

I'm guessing no reward for building the most expensive one? (on PCPP, not real life)

Join the Appleitionist cause! See spoiler below for answers to common questions that shouldn't be common!

Spoiler

Q: Do I have a virus?!
A: If you didn't click a sketchy email, haven't left your computer physically open to attack, haven't downloaded anything sketchy/free, know that your software hasn't been exploited in a new hack, then the answer is: probably not.

 

Q: What email/VPN should I use?
A: Proton mail and VPN are the best for email and VPNs respectively. (They're free in a good way)

 

Q: How can I stay anonymous on the (deep/dark) webzz???....

A: By learning how to de-anonymize everyone else; if you can do that, then you know what to do for yourself.

 

Q: What Linux distro is best for x y z?

A: Lubuntu for things with little processing power, Ubuntu for normal PCs, and if you need to do anything else then it's best if you do the research yourself.

 

Q: Why is my Linux giving me x y z error?

A: Have you not googled it? Are you sure StackOverflow doesn't have an answer? Does the error tell you what's wrong? If the answer is no to all of those, message me.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.

This is taking a while, I think I am going to give up. I think there is a board with 18 sata ports.

 

Is there afaster way to add multiple items?

 

EDIT NVM I found it.

 

So I don't know if I overlooked compatibility issues. I also added a clearly inferior and inflated SSD to bring the price up over 100k.

Problem with my build is with the CPU and GPU(my bad)?

 

What exactly qualifies as consumer grade in this game? You are using a workstation board (explicitly against your rules). You can also then argue that no 2011 processor should count, and only consumer sockets such as AM3 1150 etc should be used. I updated mine with a i7 and a titan z.

Still over $110k

There wasn't much choice with the rules set. It also shows that trying to do this build is a lot more difficult than a budget build. But if one was to do a realistic build with a budge like this, the most one can reach up to is around $10,000 or even less.
