Yeah know what you mean, that was just a dream list of almost the most expensive kit you can get.

Personally as the majority have said it absolutely pointless in spending over £2000 as new kit comes out every week. Its like someone could buy 2 GTX295's..... a few weeks later the new Nivida cards come out... for all any1 knows they could be more powerful that 2x 295s for a fraction of the price you know! So you should always keep a little cash back to upgrade a good few months down the line!

indeed i think the new 5830's will be great for budget gamers and from what iv seen/read they could be great unlike Nivida and there Unfinished Card's

but we never know what will be the *MUST HAVE* Item for this year

i would never really spend over 2,000 on comp since after 2,000 you get very little extra performance for the money
 
4k on a pc isnt mad, its the same with cars, houses etc etc, if you can afford it then go for it. a 20k car offers no more benfit than a 5k car except its newer and depreciates like mad, I bet plenty pay that for a motor tho and dont think about it too much, mention 4k on a pc and folk instantly think its mad or a wind up

if someone uses their pc daily for gaming, video etc then tbh spend what you can afford.

Use?

IMO if for e.g. gaming, £2000 budget is enough

You say that, but my new PC cost just under £2,000 and I certainly wouldn't call it high end. I even had to use a few budget parts (Antec 300, GTX260 etc etc).

£4,000 needs to be spent on something decent which will last a good while.

good point, I use my PC more than I drive the car

PC - £2,000
Car - £7,500
 
I was going to suggest this, but I'm a whole penny short :(

Here is my spec suggestion adhering to the OP's requirements:

As the others have said - you really don't NEED to spend this kind of money to get a fantastic gaming experience. But if you can, you won't be disappointed and there is stuff here (like the monitors and speakers) which shouldn't become obsolete too fast.
 
2x Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5970 OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £1,079.98
3x Crucial M225 256GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive (CT256M225) £1,499.97
1x Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) £220.99
1x Corsair HX 1000W ATX Modular SLI Compliant PSU £180.99
1x Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 DDR3 Motherboard £156.99
6x 4GB Corsair DDR3 Memory (6*4) 24 GB Kit - £842.35

Total: £3980.01

Best i7 for overclocking, dual HD5970 (gets 120+ fps in Crysis), 24 GB of RAM, and 768 GB of SSD storage.
Beat me!

And yes, obvious troll is obvious. Fun to make a 4000 pound wishlist though. ;)
 
Its pointless spending such amounts of money on PC gaming nowdays. A system for 1 grand will produce pretty much the same results as a 4grand system except from the odd game like Crysis. Companies arent really developing much for PCs now as they all get ripped off because so many people download the games, so we wont get many games which demand insane specs anymore unless it requires an online subscription to play.

What the hell did you buy? £2000 is enough for a high end spec:confused: Although, does depend on what you're getting, 3 monitors\3GPUS\SSD+3xHD is obviously gonna up the cost some what
