The $3,300 build is ordered

[PCBudgetSolutions]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1nuX5

Building for a rich friend of mine. He was in town a few weeks ago and said, I am tired of hearing how amazing your PC is, build me something that is baller and better than yours in every way. He wants the ability to OC down the road, but wants it stock for the time being. He will be gaming on a 2560x1600 monitor with a 2560x1440 aux monitor. The 512GB SSD is for windows+a few games, the 256GB is for linux and programming.

I am jelly, but at least I get to play with it for awhile. He emailed me the order confirmation, it's on its way to my house. He's a tech guy perfectly capable of building a PC, but he believes PC's carry deadly diseases and thinks Macs are godlike. He has a 24 core mac server with 1.2 pentabytes of storage at his house that he build LOL.

[ComputerNoob]

Where does he get all that money from?

[UselessBread]

so that is finally happening...
Also, why no blu-ray at that price.

Building for a rich friend of mine.  He was in town a few weeks ago and said, I am tired of hearing how amazing your PC is, build me something that is baller and better than yours in every way.  He wants the ability to OC down the road, but wants it stock for the time being.  He will be gaming on 3 2560x1440 monitor's, the 512GB SSD is for windows+a few games, the 256GB is for linux and programming.

I don't belive that someone would have 1.2 petabytes of storage at their house and also on a mac system. It would need many systems to do that.

Daddy

Pc is nice, but even 3 grand rigs from 2007 based on sli 8800's and core 2 quads outdated just as fast and the dude with the core 2 duo and second hand 5800 because of direct x 

[carolkarine]

1.2 petabytes. I call a troll. that's at least (if we assume 4tb hard drives) 300 hard drives.

[Emkryan]

Should have bought him a bigger cooler and skipped the DVD drive or at least get a blue-ray drive

[joelthezombie15]

$3,300 

 

No water cooling

No Hdd

Not extreme series CPU

 

So weird.

[Loe]

I cannot wait for the build log. You will be making one or there will be consequences for your lack of consideration towards fellow linustechtips forum members and tech appreciators world wide.

[WorldDominator]

You're supposed to have it shipped to my home address silly :P

Thats only like 30,000 grand, not that much.

1-2 petabytes of storage my sweet patuty

But like no closed loop or anything. why? Like i would even get a h60. the extreme series isnt needed but for that price why not?

Yeah but you are not a guy has more money than sense are you?

[AdamG1401]

so that is finally happening...

Also, why no blu-ray at that price.

 

because no one needs optical media anymore.

 

yay internet. 

[MdX MaxX]

3 2560 monitors?  I hope he's not planning on gaming in Nvidia surround.  Even 2 780s would buckle under that kind of load...

Water cooling can be pointless

HDD's suck

Extreme series CPU's suck for the price :P And often perform worse in games 

:P

-_-

 

A h60 is in NO WAY adequate cooling for an extreme series CPU. A 'PC expert' such as yourself should know that.

 

Also, the name clearly states 'PCbudgetsolutions' stating, and or implying that he will go for economical and sensible builds. That's not saying i'd changes some things, but i know why he chose said items. There's shipping involved. Now, shipping costs money, so do PC's, Water is heavy. and AIO is not worth it, since you're shipping it. 

 

Now, lets consider a better 'mix solution' shall we?!  

 

He goes extreme series, compromises some performance and gains an AIO h60, it burns out, and he's wasted money. OR, it doesn't make his cpu run incredibly hot, and it gets destroyed in shipping because water is heavy.

All true, but to be fair the tiny amount of water isn't heavier than a giant ass heatsink

[sezir]

i would go for somthing more like this

Still, think about it this way, 4 screws mounted to a thin piece of steel is a lot less safe than 4 screws mounting through a mobo which is in turn, mounted to the mobo tray via several mounting points seems safer to me, even if only a tiny bit.

Your negating the rad in that statement.
