Expensive gaming computer

ULookPrettyGood · Feb 5, 2014

i need help building a gaming computer for my friend. Now he's happy to spend a lot of money so i wanna make this computer perfect, can you help me? Just post a build or some parts.

ULookPrettyGood :

Need at least an approximate budget. Otherwise, it can get pretty out of control price-wise.

Also, is a:
Monitor (what size, resolution)
Keyboard, Mouse
Operating System
Speakers

needed?

I will follow Martell with the same. Most gaming rigs when ppl say expensive can mean from 2000-3000. But you can get upwards of 10,000 just being ridiculous with it. I mean toss 2 titans and the lastest i7 on a Rampage board and you are looking at 3000 just for that. Then you still need to add everything else.

Example of getting crazy.

You can get a lot more insane than that 4 titian black editions or 4 780ti kingpins

CRooKeDCoP · Feb 5, 2014

Like I said getting crazy. You can go stupid insane if you wish lol.

OK lets say that max is $2000. Leave monitor, mouse and keyboard out of it. Just the stuff need to run a computer. No OS either.

Given the situation of no limit and/or preference i'm just gonna put a list for a Pc build.

1 - Get a Big Case for all those parts
2 - get one of the best Mobos
3 - Get ridiculous overkill on GPU power
4 - Awesome CPU
5 - Great Sound Card
6 - A few HDDs and SSD would not hurt
7 - Windows 8.1 Pro
(Please note that u need to include giant PSU (1000+), the remaining Fans for case, and so on)

1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146097

2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131974

3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487007 (double, triple or even quad SLi) (careful with PSU power)

4: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901

5: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102050

( Also think about getting very good headsets like the Logitech G930, A good Mechanical Keyboard, great gaming mouse and mat, Good flight stick (if into flying games) a very good surround sound and if u can a 3+ monitor set up)

(PLEASE NOTE: These parts are according to my preferences, yours can be different, also research which extra accessories you might need in the cause you pick such or similar parts)

Happy Gaming

Try something more like this. Maybe somebody can tweak and tune , or perhaps a different build then me.

Jorge Rivera :

Really? You really need a sound card, 1KW PSU, a few HDs. $400 motherboard, $200 sound card? Windows 8.1 Pro? None of this stuff is really necessary to get a killer PC on the OP's $2K budget. Here's an example of spending practically on a solid gaming PC:

There. That's spending practically without wasting, you get the highest quality graphics available for a single card, the highest quality PSU on the market, leave room for adding a second GTX 780TI, plenty of overclocking opportunities, and you aren't spending money needlessly on expensive cases, motherboards, sound cards, or any of the other junk you just plain flat out do not need.

g-unit: How do you make the part picker list show up ?

g-unit1111 · Feb 5, 2014

CRooKeDCoP :

When you're on the PC Part Picker website click on the button that says "BB Code Markup" and then copy and paste the entire text that's in the window that appears.

With all due respects, i never said this was a way of getting a good ad cheap PC, but hey you list is better.

g-unit1111 · Feb 6, 2014

Jorge Rivera :

But yeah there's such a thing as spending practically, and then thinking that just because one part is more expensive than the other, that automatically makes it the best on the market. It doesn't. And just because a product may have a 5 egg rating on Newegg, that doesn't automatically make it the best, either. A lot of flat out crap gets highly rated on Newegg, despite that actual tech sites may think the product is garbage. Apevia and Raidmax are perfect examples of this phenomena.

g-unit1111 :

I see what you mean, and its very true, thanks for the tip

ill do more reaserch and check out more parts from now on

g-unit1111 · Feb 6, 2014

Jorge Rivera :

Yeah judging products by what you see on Newegg and other store reviews is never the way to go about doing things. The thing is 9 times out of 10 you'll see a negative review over a positive one, and you just can't go into fine details on a particular product in a Newegg review than you would on a site like Jonnyguru, Anandtech, Hardware Secrets, or Toms' can.
