Can someone give me a theoretical build that can run any game at 60fps highest settings with no dips (1080p)
Which type of setup do I need for absolutely no dips?

What is your budget and where do you live ?
Without a budget you could get a i7-4770k + GTX 780 , they would max every game.

Sorry, I forgot to put the benchmarks link in, that aside, i can ASSURE you, that this will be able to play ultra settings on any of the latest intensive games and heres a description/reason for each of my choices for you, bearing in mind that you said

So,
1) I chose the i7 4770k because though it may be overkill for gaming at the moment, it may come in handy for other activities you do and may be good for future games. It is a K series card so it means that you can overclock it if you choose to.
2) I chose the H100i because i personally like the aesthetics of it over the Noctua CPU coolers and they perform just as well.
3) I chose the Maximus VI Extreme because it allows for Quad SLI and has a tonne of good features that you can easily find in better reviews It also comes with the OC Panel which you can use to control 4 fans and overclock to an extent, it monitors temperatures and also fits into one of the four 5.25" ports on the case.
4) Here is the Corsair Vengeance Pro memory that's 1600 with a CAS rating of 9. There is 16gb's which is more than enough for Gaming but it will allow you to do other memory intensive activities such as video rendering if you want to do some video editing and recording.
5)There are two Samsung EVO 120gb's which you could set up in a raid configuration for your OS and other important applications such as Skype. There is another Samsung EVO 250gb for anything else such as games you play often. There is a final Hard Drive which is 2Tb for other files etc. You will NOT run out of space.
6)There are then three EVGA GTX 780 TI's which will destroy any game you throw at it while in ULTRA settings. This is also the Superclocked edition with ACX cooling.
7)The 900D, well, this Case is Supersized; I actually like the aesthetics of this case and it so big that if you choose to you can implement water cooling very easily with lots of room left over. However, it does come with a price.
8)There is a fully modular 1200W PSU because there are three 780 Ti's running in there which will require a lot of power and there is still room on the Motherboard for another card.
9)There's a drive because, well, you might need it to install your gpraphics drivers from the disk they provide you
But seriously, you might have DVD's you want to watch or something like that. It only takes up a 5.25" bay of which there are 4 in the case.
10)Windows 8.1 is actually alright for games as long as you can live with the interface or change it using one of the third party programs available.
11)I was unsure if you had a monitor but if you do, just put it above these three and have it display your temperatures Here there are three 24inch 1080p monitors which you can set up Nvidia surround on.
12)Here's a sound card i added because it is one of the best ones available and is nice to have if you can afford it.
13)Now these extra fans are overkill and this IS extreme, however, with three GPU's in SLI this will produce a lot of heat, and with this being a "Theoretical Build" and price being an issue, i would personally have this many fans. With the included fans there will be a total of 14, however, I do not care about noise because I use an Active noise cancelling headset.
14)Here are two more fan controllers that will enable the use of all the fans and also enable you to control them with ease. There is a 6 fan controller for the 6 side fans, a 4 fan controller for the top and rear fans and there is a 4 fan controller in the OC Panel to control the remaining fans.
15)Finally there is a standard Mouse, Keyboard and headset that you can purchase if you don't already have them.
I can fully understand if this is tl;tr aha. However as an added note, for a theoretical build I would rather go with two custom water cooling loops for the motherboard, CPU and graphics card.

4) Here is the Corsair Vengeance Pro memory that's 1600 with a CAS rating of 9. There is 16gb's which is more than enough for Gaming but it will allow you to do other memory intensive activities such as video rendering if you want to do some video editing and recording.
5)There are two Samsung EVO 120gb's which you could set up in a raid configuration for your OS and other important applications such as Skype. There is another Samsung EVO 250gb for anything else such as games you play often. There is a final Hard Drive which is 2Tb for other files etc. You will NOT run out of space.
6)There are then three EVGA GTX 780 TI's which will destroy any game you throw at it while in ULTRA settings. This is also the Superclocked edition with ACX cooling.
7)The 900D, well, this Case is Supersized; I actually like the aesthetics of this case and it so big that if you choose to you can implement water cooling very easily with lots of room left over. However, it does come with a price.
8)There is a fully modular 1200W PSU because there are three 780 Ti's running in there which will require a lot of power and there is still room on the Motherboard for another card.
9)There's a drive because, well, you might need it to install your gpraphics drivers from the disk they provide you
But seriously, you might have DVD's you want to watch or something like that. It only takes up a 5.25" bay of which there are 4 in the case.10)Windows 8.1 is actually alright for games as long as you can live with the interface or change it using one of the third party programs available.
11)I was unsure if you had a monitor but if you do, just put it above these three and have it display your temperatures
Here there are three 24inch 1080p monitors which you can set up Nvidia surround on.12)Here's a sound card i added because it is one of the best ones available and is nice to have if you can afford it.
13)Now these extra fans are overkill and this IS extreme, however, with three GPU's in SLI this will produce a lot of heat, and with this being a "Theoretical Build" and price being an issue, i would personally have this many fans. With the included fans there will be a total of 14, however, I do not care about noise because I use an Active noise cancelling headset.
14)Here are two more fan controllers that will enable the use of all the fans and also enable you to control them with ease. There is a 6 fan controller for the 6 side fans, a 4 fan controller for the top and rear fans and there is a 4 fan controller in the OC Panel to control the remaining fans.
15)Finally there is a standard Mouse, Keyboard and headset that you can purchase if you don't already have them.
I can fully understand if this is tl;tr aha. However as an added note, for a theoretical build I would rather go with two custom water cooling loops for the motherboard, CPU and graphics card.
Damn, that's pretty much flawless.
Besides this part:
The three hard drives wont last me
I'd have to buy another 2 4tbs, but that build looks pretty flawless.also i live in AU so it'll be like $6k.
How about an offordable build now? Like the specs have to play any game at 60fps but for as cheap as possible, and holy crap nice answer. You should you add me on steam cuz im shit knowing parts
Also, if you are going to spend that much on a pc you might want 2400 ram
Stuff to remove or add:
-Mouse
-Keyboard
-Monitor
+4tb hdd
-dvd drive, who doesn't have one lol
-headset
Not sure about the sound card, i'd have to hear it first.
-windows
All i can think of, you did good.
Well here is something a little more affordable that will play ultra settings and get a good fps rating dependent on what resolution you are playing at. Another GPU could be added to make it SLI if this is within your Price range to help you if you are playing on more than one monitor though the GTX 780Ti pretty much destroys most games at the moment anyway. The case fans and controller are not really necessary but i like them as you can tell anyway.

If i had the money I could easily spend 2k on cooling; The Motherboard, The Ram, The CPU, The GPU's, and The Storage I would run 3 different loops in one of the Caselabs cases, One for the CPU, One for the GPU's and One for the Motherboard and the Ram and the Storage. 3 different Radiators, Reservoirs and pumps. The stuff you can do when you have lots of money.

You should overlcock your life
Also from what i can read you're a lot better at pcs then me
Im very much new too PC's compared to a lot of people, I only became a user of this last week! The only difference between you and I is probably that I have had a lot more time to do research. None stop daily research and reading for two weeks can certainly teach you a lot, its also key to ask questions and start threads like this to get advice and guidance from others who may have experiences that you can learn from. And when it really comes down to it its all about the money and time you have available to spend. Im still looking forward to building my first water-cooled gaming/coding/video editing computer in about 4 weeks time. Baring in mind I have a rather large budget due to saving for two years and having a rather generous grandmother.
