This = £8,712.12
+ Custom Watercooling = ?
Maybe add a SATA controller if it'll fit on the mobo for some high-capacity storage drives in a fast RAID 0 Array.
Fans are for the optional fan slots in the case.
Oh, and get OcUK to build it for you!
EDIT: It looks like the Sound card may not fit with the SLI config, so look into getting a high-quality external firewire audio interface!
Despite being a very cheap model, I have the Edirol FA-66 and its great to me.
Look at the RME Fireface series for something in your budget.
EDIT AGAIN: It looks like the idea of adding a SATA controller may not work for the same reasons the Soundcard won't.
Look into getting a High-capacity storage server.
I saw someone post a VIA model on these forums earlier!
Check the Hard Drives section of the forums.
I'm sure you can get a much better one, but just so you know the kind of thing to look for!
Maybe something like this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ology Disk Station DS-508 5-Bay NAS Enclosure
With five of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST31500341AS)

Maybe you could also get one of these for a mere €2,425 also.
4 years ago I bought the best rig you could buy, costed about £2000. All I can say when I look back on it, what a waste of money, and I will never buy the best that money can buy again. Its such a waste with computers I think, basically £500 - 1000 is more then enough to get a very decent gaming rig that will last a few yrs, if you keep upgrading the graphics card, dont you think guys??
I bought my system last march, see sig for system (minus the graphics card, cos took that out of my old sys, had diff hdds, and only had 4gb of mem then). That cost just over £550 and it still runs games perfectly smooth now, I think my system will last another year easy, but I dont think the graphics card will tho![]()
FYI, like most people have said, future proofing is a fools game - whatever you buy will be outdated in 12 months (at best). Spending loads more doesn't future proof, it just means you lose more money over that 12 months.
Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against spending a shed load of cash on a top spec machine - just don't do it on the basis that you're future proofing, or that spending twice the cash gives you twice the performance.
My advice.
Spend the money elsewhere. £7500 on a PC and a cambridge audio amp? Bit odd. I'd spend £5K on the amp/speakers and the rest on the PC.
