High end is something like a GTX780 coupled with an FX-8350 or an i5-4670K to me. 

[kizoku_95]

Something like 200$ which equals INR 13000 is what i consider very high end !

[SirReallySam]

I7-3770k kind of price range is high end to me

High end basically means it doesn't get much better without spending an absurd amount of money.

[Ertman]

Beginning of high end to me is FX 8350 with 16gb of ram. This is the beginning of that range, I would consider an i7 to be more typical of a cpu in a high end computer. 

 

I think 8gb is mid range.

[ForeseenVisionz]

I would like to think my specs (in sig) are "high end".

[JaeDee884]

Mid i5/FX8xxx 280x/770 8GB ram

High i7 and 780/290 with 16GB ram
Enthusiast 2011 socket 780ti/290x or SLI/Xfire of mid range GPU's and up, 32GB Ram
also applies to current gen tech, typically whner a generation change I'd consider everything to drop a tier (except ram and extreme editions they stay in their slot for two gens) but with i5 I feel 2500k still stands in mid and 2600k is still a high
water-cooling is a variable that to me makes a mid range system a high end and a high end into a enthusiast

Gonna get some hate from the AMD boys here

[ElephantCrave]

I have a sound card, but my system isn't exactly stunning

Get two?

[Titanicium]

I have a sound card, but my system isn't exactly stunning

 

I saw the specs and the first thing that comes to my mind is: Alienware prebuilt?

 

Anyway on topic: I have a quite high expectation for a High-end system so a High-end system too me would be something like this...

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2iCjx (For water-cooling you just remove the H100i and go hardcore WC, but I don´t know crap about it )

 

On a serious note is something like my system High-end in my opinion

 

Oh and the issues are actually not a issue it´s precautions

They are High-end

Pick the most expensive and bam, high end pc for you.

[Osmium]

Low end I would say an intel i3 (or the AMD counterpart) or below with a gt 640-gt650

 

Mid range I would consider an intel i5 (or the AMD counterpart) with a gtx 650ti or above to gtx 760/70

 

High end would be i5 or i7 coupled with a gtx770 or above with absurd amounts of RAM and an SSD

 

Obscenely High End would be i7 extreme with SLI top tier cards with unbelievable amounts of RAM, a massive storage array and a water cooling system. These one also typically double as space heaters.

[ofr057]

high end is a build that cost 2500 + in my view

 

Pick the most expensive and bam, high end pc for you.

 

pretty much this

[Titanicium]

Eww no! I played at an event on their mouse and board and liked it, so I bought them cheaply on the side

 

 

I was afraid we had lost you  :unsure:

[tedjani]

it's something that i will never get in my life

[Osmium]

We can dream fellow peasant.

[TymmVonD]

High-end AMD rigs are not the same as other manufacturers high-end.

 

But don't discredit performance. Just because it costs 2x more doesn't mean it is 2x better. If you're doin it right, everybody will be dancin.

[Lord Pantaloons]

Intel i5/i7, Nvidia GTX x70 x80 x90, 16+GB RAM, Z/X chipset board.

[lukeptba]

8 core fx/i5, 8gb ram and a 770/7970 or above.

I wouldn't call the i5 lineup high end... 

Don't get me wrong, they're good, but not high end.

[Kick]

I see a lot of responses list specific parts, and I don't believe that's the way to answer a question like this as it will be just as obsolete as those parts in no time at all. To me, a high end system is one that can play new games on their "Ultra" settings at a resolution greater than 1080p.
