Let's Build Like Linus!

Hello, all!

 

In building and pricing out my Victor build, I thought of something! Why don't we make our dream system and post it! It's almost Christmas and there's no pain in asking Santa for what you want most! So post below and go insane! Here's my $10,000 Succubus Build that I may actually do! (if I wasn't poor)

When your sound card is over $300, you're doing it just right.

YUP! I thought it was fun putting together the most unreasonable parts.

Good point, but it may be worth waiting until the new Skylake-gen enthusiast chips get out... Yeah, I suppose I should change the keyboard to the $700 MX 5500. Again, this list isn't supposed to make sense, just fun. I'm not asking for help to build it, I'm asking the community to dream up the most crazy system! If you can't have fun when making a system, then why are you doing it? This is also kinda poking fun at Linus for always choosing outrageous parts...

Why on earth would you buy an MSI motherboard if you were spending that much money on a PC?

"An MSI motherboard". Wanna make it more obvious you're a fanboy? EVERY X99 motherboard is good. But there isn't any sense in sacrificing a 980 Ti or memory for a motherboard which won't benefit support.

 

Also, here is (in my opinion) the second best X99 board.

Ignore the dumb lights and name. This board spec for spec is a monster.

"Why on earth would you buy an MSI motherboard if you were spending that much money on a PC?"

You imply that they are not good for high end systems. That system I put in there was designed to be better then OP's for the money.

Sorry if I seemed aggresive.

This is what I'd personally get if someone was going to buy me whatever I wanted.
