with $5000 the sky the limit pretty much. $1000 corei7980 $14002x 5970 $400-500 super high end motherboard $200-300 1000watt psu , $300 12gb ram, and still there probably enough there for a couple 160gb intel sdd, and a water cooling kit

and that pc.

anything else than that is pretty much just dumb, just go buy a car, and if you have one already, or don't need one, just walk in to the bank and deposit the money, its normal when when you have money in the bank, a debit card and you can go out...

Just throwing this out there, but you do realize that the 980x isn't going to boost your gaming performance right?

If you're just throwing money away for the sake of doing so, or if you're building a folding rig then so be it, but don't make the mistake of believing that your 1000$ will be well spent for games.
