I am hoping to build a computer soon I'm going to start ordering all the parts I need I want the best I can get to start I will be using the NZXT phantom 820 case and from there I'm stuck...so I was thinking I could ask you if money wasn't a problem and you wanted to build the best PC you could what would you put together? I will research the parts you list to help with my build thank you so much for the information!
How would you build your PC if money wasn't a problem?

INTEL XEON IS A SERVER PROCESOR! BUILD FOR SERVERS! Ughh.. I hate it when someone puts xeon cpu for gaming or video rendering... it just can't keep up with i7..
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E5-2697-v2-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4960X
as you can see 4960x is better and costs 1000$ less

No you are wrong it can be used and is actually great for rendering with its 12 cores. And he didn't mentioned a gaming PC so you can put the most expensive processor and not be suitable for gaming.
What I wanted to say is that XEON is a server procesor, mainly! i3,i5,i7 are desktop processors
Even tho; I had server at my job workstation running with xeon that was causing a lot of problems, was replaced with i7 and i7 was actually running faster than the xeon...
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ivy-bridge-ep-xeon-e5-2697-v2-benchmarks,3585-9.html
according to these benchmarks Xeon E5-2697 V2 is just slightly better than 4960x in some points, in others 4960x is MUCH better
check also results for adobe cs6, synthetics etc... worth 1000$ more? one big NO
and for gaming... Xeon E5-2697 V2 not even close to 4960x with single core performance
PS: all of you from what I can see were posting build for gaming and such, not for workstations and servers.. also Xeon E5-2697 V2 is most expensive processor and is not suitable for gaming
ALSO xeon processor is limited to 1866mhz ram because is not suitable for overclocking... and i7 4960x ? hehehe
