Hi all!

A friend of mine just told me that he has 5k to spend on a gaming PC and that he wants to go mad!
He won at the lottery 15.000$-that little lucky man.
I just hate him,but i still want to make him a crazy gaming PC....
Just give me some ideas of what should the Pc have,at such a budget i dont know what it all can have LOL!

The 295x2 is better at pushing 4k resolution by 20 fps or so and in crossfire that is overkill LOL
2x 980 is not so overkill for 4k,but i agree if there is a lower resolution,like 1080p,the the 980 clearly wins!

 
Personally I would just go with z97 and create a custom waterloop with those cards. A watercooling loop in a Phanteks Enthoo Primo would be a better choice. X99 won't offer any advantages over z97 in gaming and a waterloop would be a cooler way to spend that cash.

The 900D is a waste of space if you ware not water cooling.

Caselabs is the way to go for this pricepoint

He just wants the best performance for the money he has to spend,he doesnt want to show off,he just wants to game at 4k and have at least 120fps or more and.
I am currently considering a waterloop after i saw this video,might be pretty interesting...
Any other suggestions?
