Hardcored Gamer · Aug 9, 2014

Guys, i just want to know, hmm if this rig of mine will workout, without any hassles or bottlenecks. My hardware might be a bit expensive for gaming, but money's is not an issue for me. Its just the question of, will it work? and the fps ill be gettin when i'm playing top end games(BF4, Crysis 3, Assassins Creed 4, etc.) on 4k Ultra Settings. So, Looking forward for some answers, Thank you guys

Looks more like a ridiculous waste of money.

These are the basic parts I would get if I didn't have a budget, didn't include the extra fans or fan controller or sound card etc.
The R9 295x2 is better for games and half the price of the Titan Z.
It is a waste of money, no doubt about that, but that's probably the most powerful PC you could get right now.

Okay, i don't really get which build your saying is "most powerful", and i also want to know what sort of FPS i'll be getting while playing top end games on ultra settings on 4k resolution.

Ytyoussef · Aug 9, 2014

The build I posted is probably the most powerful PC you can buy for gaming right now. And you'd be looking at over 60fps in almost all games on max setting, bf4 for example gets around 90 (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-295x2-crossfire-performance,3808.html)

Is it possible for you to improvise, cuz i just saw a video of r9 295x2 crossfire vs gtx tian z sli and found out they were both doing very average of 4k ultra on top end games(AC 4, Crysis,etc), so see if you can improvise, my budget is $40k

Hardcored Gamer · Aug 9, 2014

Ytyoussef :

Alright, how about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/p3H26h ( i have not included CPU, Cooler and Motherboard, because in a month or so x99 chipset from Asus will hit the market and 8 core 5960x and few other intel 5th gen processors are coming so ill add that) otherwise i just need a good cooler ( dont really know which one to get).

Outlander_04 :

Foul language removed - be careful!!

Chill dude, some people are speculative of your intentions / legitimacy but others are helping you so just be thankful for the help.

On a side note, I'll gladly take that 34K and shut up.

Are you joking? What are you going to use 4 bluray drives for??

Ytyoussef · Aug 10, 2014

The build you posted is basically the same, you won't have any performance difference. You should also get a 64 GB kit, to avoid any problems with multiple kits. And why those blu-ray drives? You just took the most expensive ones... ^^ (Why would you need so many drives)

Pcbuilder123 · Aug 10, 2014

This is a hypothetical build. I would buy a used 5 series bmw and a high end rig....

Pcbuilder123 · Aug 10, 2014

But, this is the "poor people" way of thinking as said by Luke from linusmediagroup. Have this much money to blow probably already have everything else.
