So the question is fairly simple, What would you consider an impressive GAMING PC, some people will argue that 4 cores are better, for this were going to do a 6 core, this is what I would consider impressive, What would you guys consider impressive? This is what I would consider impressive without an extreme price tag?

I wouldn't consider it impressive at all to be honest, more along the lines of pissing away money, to me what's incredibly impressive is custom water cooling and color coding / custom sleeving for your pc. Anyone can get parts if they have the money but it takes a person who loves their pc to really go the extra mile, and a closedloop screams lazy at that price tag.

Impressive? Not at all. You just took all of the most OP hardware and put it on a list. Psh.

i7 4790K || R9 290X + R9 290 || 16GB G.Skill TridentX 1866 || Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 || Crucial MX100 256GB || WD Caviar Blue 1TB

Yeah, if you go with a full loop (Maybe hardline), as well as sleeved cables, that would be a baller pc for sure. (I would save some bucks though, the 5820k is fine for a 2 way sli config.) Also, I have a Fractal Define S, and love it. (Phanteks and Fractal cases are great for WCing!)

yeah no shit, except that no one knows the hall of Fame and if I wanted to choose the most OP hardware a choice would be easy, a Titan X

 

But you chose the 980ti because it can be overclocked to perform better than the Titan X, so as to make your the build cheaper. How impressive.

No actually, because they're the best preforming stock.If I wanted one that could overclock

what you picked out is very imperssive, but i almost dont see the point in dual 980ti's if you doing 4k you really only need one, are you doing multiple displays?

My Cheap But Good Rig: I7-3770s, Intel Motherboard (actually made by intel), 16gb DDR3, Nvidia Gtx 1070, 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 750gb HDD, Evga 500 BR power supply

well, thats somewhat a given, I fail to see how bluring objects uses more GPU power >.>

some games aren't just ready for 4k, Think I'll just wait to see if AMD has anything special up they're sleeve or who knows, Nvidia might, *prays for 990Ti*
