That's like asking 'what is the best car you can buy?'

There are different cars for different tasks. For example the fastest road car would be terrible for Rally or off-road driving. Exactly the same with PCs.

Did you mean the best gaming PC?

A 5960x would be preferable if gaming were at all a consideration. The frequency of XEON CPUs would manifest in most titles. Since this is a "Uber" what if system...I'd add two more Titan X on there...and a custom loop (4 Rads) for cooling.
 


Seems like the most expensive parts found on this website but means very little in some worlds. You can achieve similar gaming benchmark results on this rig cutting out half the parts and whoever would buy this rig is drastically over-paying for any task it would be required to handle. This is just a list of expensive parts without an end-game in mind.

haha....haven't seen one of these in a while.
Past iterations of this concept have gone beyond $50,000.

Procedure:
1. Go to pcpartpicker
2. Buy the most expensive make/model, in as many copies will fit
3. Profit.

For instance:
The above $10,000 build lists only 2 x 2TB 850 Pro SSD's.
A typical motherboard will hold 8.
Therefore, 8 x 850 Pro drives is 'better'

Same with the GPU. Why only 2? 4 x is 'obviously better'.
 
For Gaming...

i7-6700k 4.0GHz CPU
Noctua NH-D15 cooler
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB RAM
Samsung EVO 950 1TB SSD
(2) EVGA GTX 980 Ti 6GB FTW ACX 2.0+ GPUs in SLI
Corsair 750D Airflow Edition ATX case
Asus DRW-24B1s DVD-ROM
Windows 10 Pro x64 OS
Acer XB271HU bmiprz 27" G-Sync monitor

Total = $3418.16

I don't know that much passed this would produce anymore perceived performance from any game vs. the $10k system. You are just inflating the price of the rig for the most part, without anymore "gaming" performance.
