Ultimate power

Hi guys just realized my computer is seriously out of date.

if i have an unlimited budget and was looking at buying a super powerful gaming rig what would you recommend?

this is what i was thinking ( dont need all the keyboard, mouse and headset for it but i included it anyway)

HAF 932
Asus Rampage-II-Extreme (X58 chip set)
Intel core i7 940
6x G.Skill-PI 3gb DDR3 1600
3x ASUS ENGTX285
Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1
Logitech G35 headset
Logitech G19 keyboard
Logitech G9 mouse
Thermaltake ToughPower 1200W

did i miss anything vital?

thanks

ps any recomendations for 22" monitors? Dual monitor or single

Hmm... unlimited budget ehh...
Here goes the list...

Core i7 975 eXtreme
EVGA Classfied mobo
DDR3 2166 MHz RAM
4x ASUS Mars GTX 295 in quad-SLI
intel SLC SSD in RAID 0
ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3
SILVERSTONE TJ07 - Custom paint job
SILVERSTONE ST1500 1500W

And the above config would be put to total waste with a 22" monitor...
Something like Dell dual 30" would best compliment that setup...

dosnt that meen the classified has 8 PCI slots? and i didnt think the clasified could run Wuad SLI anyways

Three GTX285s are faster.

I hope the OP isn't actually considering building this...

has anyone got any advice on SSD or screens?

woot, someone is letting me bring this out again, lol

and yes, crossfire does work on this board

just add in two cpu coolers for this build

I don't understand your question. Your initial post said you wanted 3gb of Gskill I say go for 6gb.

you need to grow the **** up.......ripping your own parents off? seriously....unless they just own the bank you shouldn't go milking everything out of your parents kids....

Where did this generation go so wrong......i should write a book...

well...since u said your budget is unlimited, just for fun, I will build you the ultimate system LOL. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN, ESPECIALLY THE PRICE: Anyway lets get started

CPU: Intel Core i7 975 Extreme or Xeon W5580 (Both are the most powerful, cant go wrong with either and remember you can run two of them if used on a proper motherboard

Motherboard: EVGA Classified, make sure QPI has 6.4GT/s and supports 2000mhz ram

RAM: 2000mhz Micron/Crucial ram 12GB

GPU: Tri-SLI GTX285 2GB (most powerful graphics setup offered by nvidia)

PSU: 1200+watt

120GB SATA II SSD drive (boot Drive)

1TB 15,000RPM hard drive for storage

Xpressar case (I reccomend, however Antec, coolermaster, thermaltake, lian are all very good also.)

-Well: This system will be able to literally obliterate and brutally murder any game currently available at the highest resolutions monitors can currently provide at the highest possible settings with the highest possible frame rates I am safe and willing to bet that 3 years from now, this system will still be high-end and will still murder any game unless somekind of enhanced version of crysis comes out that is even more demanding so yeah It might cost you about as much as a cheap car will...

@computersss did you really think that I would suggest such a config for a real build ...
And @brassass2828 you wont need such a bizarre config to run crysis 2 because most probably they would better program that game than the original crysis...Crysis was one of the worst programmed game, though good looking, was no way near to optimized...
Like computerss said 2x GTX295 would max out most games at high resolutions...

ill probably go along the lines of what i originaly suggested... so yes i am building it

Hey guys, he wants 24GB of memory and dual Xeons with (2x)4870x2's in crossfire (workstation boards can support crossfire)

Why do people think they can still put more than 2 GTX 295's in a system...

i know because obviously almost everyone on the forum knows that there is only drivers for quad sli and everyone also knows that 2 gtx 295 is quad sli,anyway IMO this is a fake build and IMO there is no one with unlimited budget and i bet that he is just a child under 18 years who justs wants everybody to say WOW what a build i wish i can afford one like that

Yes Warhead works better, I agree however barely, I have both games personally and on warhead on same settings and same resolution I was able to gain like maybe between 5-8fps. And with the 1.2 patch on the original crysis, it almost plays as well as warhead now, but both are very hard to play and require lots of beef to power them.

-GKAY WROTE: "Even it provides NEARLY as good visuals"

-Notice how you said it gives nearly as good visuals, the original crysis, in my opinion gives a little bit higher quality textures and physics, just a little, but enough to take down on that 5-8fps, maybe I am wrong but I was looking at screenshots side by side and for the same settings on both games, I think crysis's textures and physics(especially during explosions) were looking a tiny bit better.

this forum is not about program efficiency
