Help building a rig.

So here's the deal: what's the best gaming/workstation rig you can  come up with for $3500 (including the monitor)? Rig should have a focus on RAM, GPU, and CPU. May the games begin.

$3500 USD, CAD, AUD or any other form of dollar? In US you can build a kickass system for that price but in AUD you can build your average gaming system so what Country you are in is really important.

bruh you know its true... $3500 US you can get like 980ti SLI with X99 Platform Chips and 64GB of RAM. with SSD Mass storage but in AUD $3500 will get you like a 6700k with 16GB of RAM one 980ti an SSD and a HDD. I had to help build my friend in Tasmanias PC... I was a little upset with the parts he was able to get for that money.

True, think about it though. a 6700k and a 5820k are like the same price so I wasn't to far off. lol
