Seven grand on a PC build???? Sweet, tap-dancing Jesus...
Buddy, I haven't the words.
my thoughts exactly! That would be one sweet production machine. Too bad a $3-4000 build could likely keep up with it for games though.
In the game of computer building you need to know going in that you will be out of date within 2 years, and nearing irrelevance in 5 years. If you have that money to blow then go all out on the things you dont need to replace every build (monitor, keys, mouse, powersupply, case, fans/coolers, etc), and then buy upper end equipment for the core system that you replace every year or 2 (mobo, proc, ram, HDD/SSD). That computer is worth 5000 the minute you take the parts out of the box, and will be worth $3500 within 2 years... now that is depreciation.
Also it is good to know how software works. Games take advantage of 4 cores max, nothing can be done about this until consoles upgrade and software writers begin coding for 6-8 cores, but that will be in another 2 years so it dosnt matter.
