you said there was no budget. a blank cheque is what we saw and we went for it..

you want a serious build. give us a budget, and what it will be used for. how many monitors? os? keyboard and mouse?

There is no budget in reality, but making builds that are 11k+ adding in t-shirts/mugs is not what I want....

The current build I had in mind was around 4.2K.

I will be playing sim games and FPS games on 3 24" monitors, so if anyone has a build for something like that I would appreciate it.
 
Yeah it will be used less often as it is low power and a slower drive therefore I would store things like movies/music on there and on my SSD games etc.

I will show it off and hopefully I will have it sometime next week or weekend after.

Still not sure on a build as of yet.

Your looking at building a PC with dual GTX 690's and a six core cpu overclocked to 4.6ghz and running three monitors
And you worry about saving a few watts of power on one harddrive....:p


I really no understand the way some people think..:confused:

Aha, I know it's silly but it makes sense in my head o.0

Anyway this is a build I came up with on OCuK as I might buy from here......

ok apologys for the mugs and energy drinks those were just for a laugh......apprently not

and been as you said there was no budget and basically handed a blank cheque we tried to make the most overkill pc possible as there were no constraints based on what you had said, so if you are not willing to spend 11k and deem this "immature" then set a budget, so now that you have said 4.2k is what you had in mind then a pc can be worked for that region

here is a build based on your previous post, you havent stated wether you already have the monitors and wether you need keyboard/mouse/os so i havent added those. also the majority of the sensible priced raid cards are only pre order, so the only one in stock is the £660 one.... but here is the base system, you can change the case i have only provided a good example (800d is amazing case btw see videos around the web) you also add in the monitors and keyboard and mouse should you need them, but this provides you with a system to give you an idea of whats out there, you can swap to preferred brands should you wish also

Wouldn't a Asus Rampage MOBO be the better option?

Everything else looks good, very good, but I wont be building it myself so would need to build my machine with the Overclockers system configurator.

Well the chaps at OcUK can pretty much use that as a base and go from there. rjkoneill and NathWraith should be your first port of call.

I have sent them an e-mail but will most likely call them tomorrow morning.

I was going to order off another site but this seems better and a more active forum as well.

I just want that build to change the CPU to a 3930K and the cards, hopefully it will have the CPU and GPU overclocked and be fully watercooled I will be very happy.
 
Are there any MOBO's out there better than an Asus Rampage Extreme?

Just built this, what do you think?
