For all of you rich gamers out there, I decided to put together the most expensive gaming pc build (I was bored lol :p )
I (didnt) put this build together and it can (probably) run every game on extreme settings apart from on Crysis 3.
This includes a monitor and an OS.

Thats a horrible gaming build. you have more memory sticks than the motherboard has slots(motherboard has 8 slots and you have 16 sticks of ram). Also one of those very expensive SSD's couldn't even be used, when using 2 dual slot gpus on that board only 3 pci-e slots will be available to use. The video cards are expensive because they are workstation cards and they are not all that good for gaming. I could build a rig that would decimate that one in games for just what 1 of those workstation gpus costs.

The mother board only supports 8 sticks of Ram. I guess its nice to have a backup set if you have the money lol.

Awesome for video editing and such, but not gaming. Try 4 titans for marking up price or 4 780 ti's for performance.

Replace the cooler with a custom loop. Theoretically you to expand the price to infinity by using a series of external radiators after each component that is cooled. (to make that possible you could have a custom case built and use pci riser cables to have space to have tubing go to each card.)

The price limit on a PC isnt 45k or even 100k but infinite.

Get a dual cpu motherboard and fill every slot with 690s for the price and the gaming performance.
