TOTAL PRICE = DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!
$ 8,956.8

Anyone can go upper than that? Those are the most advanced technologies of products that I know so far. Do I make any mistake?   I don't know good colling solutions, though.. Hey pal, I didn't see your price tag so I didn't cheat. That 4 HDDs I purely from IMHO research.

thats hilarious! next time a newuser comes asking for a 600$ budget build ill recommend a HDD cooler for his 160GB WD.......lol

"damnit! but your HDD might overheat! better safe than sorry"

I think my first computer circa 1992 was about $10k.

Gateway 2000 - Intel 486 DX 66 - 300 meg hard drive / 5 inch floppy / modem / tape backup / 16 meg of memory ....

Quickly then...

$ 200 CPU
$ 150 mobo which supports 2x PCIE, and has USB 3.0
$ 120 8GB RAM
$ 300 (generous) for 1 GPU, with option to Crossfire / SLI a second
$ 155 Seasonic X-750 PSU
$ 240 128GB Sandforce SSD
$ 55 500GB data drive
$ 200 Extravagant mid-tower case, probably Lian Li
$ 50 decent air cooler
====
$1470 That's the absolute most I could STRAIN to spend on a "gamer" and keep a clear conscience.

$ 165 CPU
$ 90 mobo which supports 2x PCIE, and has USB 3.0
$ 110 8GB RAM
$ 200 for 1 GPU
$ 0 (already have X-560)
$ 200 128GB Sandforce SSD
$ 0 (already have 500GB F3 waiting)
$ 0 (already have CM-690)
$ 35 decent air cooler
====
$800 Is a lot more likely what I'll spend next time I [re]build my primary PC; I'm hoping the RAM, SSD, and GPU will actually be less. I am sure this will max my games at 1920x1080, and if it doesn't, I can consider adding a second GPU.

LOL come to think of it, thats naughty  


Congrats, you break my record, but then, I feel sorry for u...  


Well, if you run heavy games like Crysis at max settings (not enthusiast setting, but at max with 4x/16x) at 1920x1080 you'll need at least a GTX 460 SLI for 40++ fps or, GTX 570 for cheaper one, because of the max setting. But if you play less-hungry games like Supreme Commander or Mass Effect, a single GTX 460 is enough at 1920x1080. GTX 460 is still the best as per today I write this if you run games at 1680x1080 (CRT tube) and under. Higher resolution such as 1920, mm..it's GTX 570, because of it's futureproof at your budget ~$500. GTX 460 SLI costs about the same so you'd choose 570. The SSD is very optional and for luxury performance. A SATA II 7200 RPM is enough and most people have. But if you upgrade, buy SATA III.
