$3000 PC

[UnlinkedW]

this is purely for proving a point to a imcompetent mac user who religously follows apple and believes that it is master race. Gimme the fastest work/gaming pc you guys can build!

[alexhelvetica]

What are you going to do with this PC?

Is this going to be a fictional PC?

Why $3,000?

It is against the rules to post build requests if you're not actually planning to build them.

Not really, I have a $3000 13 inch MBP for work. The budget was $3000, the 13 inch form factor makes sense for people in my line of work, and no one's going to do any serious gaming/video editing on it, but it will be used for CPU intensive computational tasks sometimes. The $3000 Mac has its place.

There is literally no point to this thread, so I'm locking it.
