Can anyone suggest best PC combination from a programmers and gamers point of view with best graphic cards,motherboard,processors,display,etc.......including max. cache memory
MONEY IS NOT AN ISSUE!!!!
 
The "best" is pretty subjective, but I would look at something like the build below. Look toward an X79 system if you want to go "bigger"...



MB - ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 - $205
CPU - i7-2600k - $330
CPU Cooler - Hyper 212 EVO - $35
CPU Cooler 2nd Fan - CM Blade Master 120mm - $12
MEM - Corsair vengeance 16GB DDR3-1600 CL7 1.5v - $160
GPU - 2 x HIS HD 7970 - $550 / $1100
SSD - Crucial M4 128GB - $175
HD - Samsung F4 2TB - $160
OPTICAL - ASUS Black 12X BD-RW - $75 after MIR
PSU - XFX PRO850W - $100 after MIR
CASE - CM HAF 912 - $50 after MIR
CASE FANS - Rosewill 120mm 4-pack 40CFM @ 18dBA - $15

$2417
 
a rough suggestion-
blu ray
TJ11
3960x
custom liquid cooling
5xcaviar blacks in RAID 5
32GB DDR3 RAM
rampage iv extreme x79
3x samsung 27" 3D monitors
seasonic 1250w 80+ GOLD psu
2x sammy 830 512GB SSDs
3x7970(of course liquid cooled)
all the best!!!!

Caviar Black in a parity raid is a disaster. Raid5 on a mobo controller is dead slow and the WDTLER problem makes it utterly unusable.
