10K Build

[A47H]

If I had a 10K build, what would it be?

I'm happy to listen to all suggestions, but it would be good if it was based around this: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6jHrw6

I've set the RTX 2080 ti as 2K just to be safe.

This PC will have to last a long time, and it's for gaming and video editing. I'm trying to upgrade it as least as possible, that's why there's such a big budget. I also need a monitor included in the price.

I'm gonna be playing games like PubG, CS:GO, Black Out.

Would I upgrade CPU?

Would I get 2 way SLI?

Should I get rid of anything?

Add a Titan V just for show.

If this is a serious question about you wanting to build something for real, then get us more info - what is the purpose of this build, for instance?

 

If this is a window shopping via pcpartpicker then I say just buy an Acer Predator 21X.

I just edited the post. It's for gaming, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it. This post is so I can figure out what I'm gonna get if I even do get something.

spend 2-3k on the computer, budget another $1500 for a nice couple monitors, then invest the rest into the stock market.

I think I'd agree with what's been implied above; There's very little need to spend 10k in a build unless you really wanna dick-wave it at people, or have a genuine productivity use for it. Just for gaming you say...

[Lathlaer]

Is there a reason you put the monitor at $2200 and the GPU at $2000? I mean, it's a great monitor, I have one as well but it did not cost me that much ;-)

I put the monitor at that price because that's how much it the monitor costs right now at JB-HIFI. And for the GPU, preorder for the founders edition is $1,899 and I wanted to be safe (Just in case the ROG STRIX 2080ti costs more).

[ImNotThere]

Not sure if you're gonna get it? You're saying this is a 10k build for what? Gaming...

Not only is this bad specs for the job but the rtx cards aren't even remotely at a stage where they are a "good buy"

If you want a realistic build you'd be absolutely perfect for a good couple of years with a single 1080ti, i7 8700k, 16 GB ram and whatever filler you really want

 

Do that and get a mobo that supports sli and a PSU big enough for 2 1080tis to allow for plug and play sli when eventually a single 1080ti is average, which won't be for a long time, good luck and happy building.

Yea yea, when you consider AUD it all makes sense, my bad.

 

So yeah, first of all it's not 10k USD but Australian = about 7k USD

 

What you have with the monitor it's about 5.5k USD build. Excluding the monitor it's about 4.3k for a top gaming PC. 

 

Seems about right. If you are really set on spending more than that, you can  add a second GPU or go 1080ti SLI route.

 

The only thing that is inflating the price here is the m.2 NVME SSD which is not strictly needed.

 

I think people here and needlessly outraged because they missed (like I did initially) that 1. it's in AUD 2. it's with a monitor 3. your actually build in pcpartpicker isn't even 10k in AUD.

Lol I forgot to write AUD. I didn't put it 10K AUD because I wanted to use the one RN as a base, then add stuff onto it. Which part do you recommend to upgrade?

There is nothing to upgrade here. The system is in top % of what can be achieved in the segment of gaming CPU. Like I said, the only other thing you can do is to buy another GPU and NVLink connector for SLI. It all depends on which games you are playing.

 

That being said, if you are not buying right this moment, it might be worth checking out the new mainstream i9 CPU when it releases.

Ok, thanks, but do you think if I get 2 way SLI it will bottleneck because of the CPU?

 

[Ross Siggers]

Apologies, the price makes a bit more sense when you think of it in AUS dollars

That's what DSR is for. The monitor is 120Hz when OC which means you will not see more than 120 fps anyway. Whenever you see that you are reaching that number FPS, you crank up the settings and then the resolution.

 

I usually aim for about 80-100 FPS with my 1080ti SLI setup which means I mostly play at something like 4213x1764 resolution. This is 1.5 factor. With 2080ti you can probably get away with 1.70/1.75.

[Lathlaer]

OK, I'm currently watching GN's 2080ti Strix teardown and it just occured to me that you might have some serious thermal issues with dual GPU's - it's a 2.7 slot card and there will be hardly any space between them. Expect something like 80-90 degrees on the upper card. 

 

For 3440x1440 I'd go for a single 2080ti if you are set on that. I generally wouldn't recommend multigpu for non-blower cards or non liquid cooled.

We still have no idea how the 2080/2080ti perform in 'SLI' and what support Nvidia will have for it in games - if any.

If, however, you were going to go this route, the ideal option would be a fully custom water loop which will be easily doable with a 10k AUD/7.2k USD budget. You'd probably want to wait until manufacturers like EK to start releasing a bunch of GPU waterblocks for the new cards.

 

@A47H If you are serious about spending this sort of money on a system - Don't. At least not right now.
Wait for the Intel i7 9700k and i9 9900k to release. I think we're still expecting them to be released some time in October and we're already starting to see Z390 boards for them.

 

Even then there is a lot of fat in your build that you could trim to save considerable amounts of money, such as the 1TB 970 Pro (500GB Evo will be fine), 32GB of RAM (16GB is enough), and the $300 you're spending on RGB fans.

 

In your other build thread for a 6.5k system, you mentioned the reason you're spending so much money on this build is because your parents don't want you to be upgrading your system often. (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/974027-65k-build/?do=findComment&comment=11774781)
When you're trying to convince them you need to spend up to 10k on a system, it's obvious why your parents have that opinion.

It's literally wastage of money.

Build something like this, ND save ur money.....
