What do you think about this extreme gaming build? ?

I'm not so sure. That he's posted several times, and that he bothered to revise the spec to some extent, suggests he might be serious.

@OP, if you actually want advise you'll find it here. People are also likely to take the **** if we think that's what your doing, with luck you're mature enough to deal with that in good humour. If not, it's unlikely you can fund the build anyway.

The best advice I can offer is that computing is all about bottlenecks. Limiting factors. Two 295's will be so hopelessly crippled by the other components that it'll perform exactly the same as one 295, if not somewhat worse. Sli is getting good these days but is always going to be more hassle. The processor is also going to be unable to throw data at the drives faster than a single ssd can handle, so having loads isn't going to help. That's even discounting that putting a lot of high performance parts on a motherboard stresses it heavily. Computing is all about matching components.

Is this going to be your first build? At this budget I would seriously consider buying a collection of quite crap components, second hand if possible, and see if you can get them working. Then try with the good stuff, its better to kill a cheap card than a good one while learning. Most people here will have killed hardware. I've dropped hard drives, ruined cases with a hacksaw, burnt out ram. It's a learning process.

Finally, it's been said above, but if you're serious, give us a budget and you'll get matched components that work together. If you want the best, you're going to have to do a hell of a lot of research and overclock an i7 since that's the fastest option out there.

If I've been caught by a troll, sod it, I've nothing better to do at present. Cheers

Seriously? £15,000 budget? I'm sticking with troll...
 
For 15 grand I would get a silver smith to make a sterlin silver computer case, get all the hardware nano silvered, replace the copper heat pipes with gold and have a 24c gold power button :cool:

Rofl, but I had to see what beast you could get for 15k, I still couldn't max it out without being silly. i stopped at 8 way 250GB raid 0 and 12GB of slower storage.

Yeah they had a 16port sata raid card, but I thought that would just be pointless over an 8 way raid 0 set up :D

Oh yeah, that would just be silly :p

This reminds me of the infamous dvdbunny 2GB of RAM Crysis on ultra high graphics thread...
 
lol 15grand, even if you had it, it would be a waste, least split it into a few pc's, a gaming one, movie music one, nice home cinema.

you may be able to waste 15grand now but 13grand could be very handy in a few years, house deposit, money to by a spare toe if your ever unlucky enough to lose one, all manor of things. yours 15grand would be worth £2000 in a year or two.
