If you have money to blow get 2 Black Pearl 8800's (water cooled) wait for a AMD quad, PSU get a Thermaltake Tough power 1000w, G15 Keyboard, I like Samsung and Viewsonic for monitors.

you wont get incredibly far with the most high end system with $5,000.00. your gonna have to make sacrifices to make the budget.

...unless you can raise it to 7,000.00 then we can talk lol

ExtremeTech's Killer Gaming Rig You don't need to get the suggested 30" LCD. Some prices should be lower now.

Also keep an eye out for the X-38 motherboards (Crossfire not SLI) and the dual socket Intel Skulltrail.

I love these post!!! You want to blow $5000 on a killer PC that at most will run 20% better than a $2000 PC (IMO).

You are going to take this killer PC to a lan party a few weeks later you realize that you buddy that just spent $3000 about 2 days ago got a pc that will kick the crap outta yours.

When I slipped in my dual 8800 GTX cards there didn't look to be much room left in that last slot so good luck getting a sound card in - I ended up using the Asus sound card that comes with the board and sounds great.

Click on my system specs and that will get you to around $4500.00 - the only way you can spend more is getting the Ultra's and bumping up to the Intel 6850 Chip - and of course that memory would be more pricey. Don't forget your operating system which varries in price depending on how much you feel like being ripped off.

Also a game developer (12 years now)

BTW you cannot talk about top of the line PCs without thinking about Blue-Ray burner, High Level Raid 5,6,50!!

O ya dont forget the 52" HDTV

I'm gonna lay low on this one and only suggest 1 item

Tagan Black Pearl Full-tower

Ok Nick. I havnt forget the 52" Lol. I got that as my main monitor on my wall right now in my office. I need two like 26" beside it. You guys all got great idea's. Cool Generic your a game developer! Thats wicked ive been one for 7 years. Madrox I can raise it to 7 grand no problem Nick the reason Its going to be aroudn 5000$ is I want everything the best it can be. I want DDR3 Memory which is like 1.2 thousand alone for 4gb of it. I want dual 8800 Gtx Ultra's. Im thinking of calling Nvidia and getting a custom board done but probably not. I have a Windows Xp Pro and Windows Vista Ultimate and all the programs needed already. 2 Black Pearls 8800's? Never heard of those Ill look up on it. The first thing I am ordering is the case So that would be the first suggestion I need right now But feel free to suggest other high tech things too. Nick! Now your thinking High tech acourse I am getting Blue Ray! I am setting up Raid 5 Mirrior on my hard drives. So if you guys could give links on what you are talking about that would be great

Mad-Dog that would be a wicked case to mod... Could paint some blue flames on it. Or maybe put a smooth brushed aluminum finish on it. Would look sick. Put a retractable 7" touch screen in a 5.25" drive bay. But if you could try and find a Pre-Modded case Would look sick if it had something to do with skulls

Sorry for giving you such a hard time. If I were you I would wait untill Christmas if you can. Mainly I would say have everything planned out and then on Black Friday order you stuff.

On a side note. I would get EVGA video cards. On the chance the next gen video cards come out soon atleast you can upgrade your cards.

Nick. I always order EVGA I mostly order everything from them or Asus I love them so much! I cant wait till christmas My system is starting to fail and I have a big project due soon so I need to get it asap. I can pay for the parts right away I got the $ Im a game developer so I need a really good computer + I love to game so yeah Im willing to spend 7000$ max. Anyways please please please Suggest

Artist/Programmer/ or Design?

Artist - 3D Max User at home and Maya at the office - waiting on Max 2008 to release in 2-3 weeks so I can't start churing out some Art at home again in Vista 64bit

No need to reveal any identity or games as I can respect your privacy as I don't like to give mine out either.
