This is just for fun, put together the absolute best possible gaming set up and post it. Pretty simple. There is no budget at all, just put together the best of the best.

Is this a gaming or workstation because LGA 1155 is for Gamers and 2011 is for Workstation... i7 LGA 2011 is kind of a worthless build for gamers and as well as 64GB RAM plus 1.6TB SSD... If your doing a workstation might as well get a Tesla K20 with Quadro K5000

It's for gaming, but the best. I'm pretty sure the i7 3970K runs games a little better than an 1155 socket would, the RAM and SSD aren't necessary for gaming, but they help.

How about we built Server's computer? It's seriously fast!!! Forget about gaming build because server's hardware will smoke them away!!!

Quad Xeon CPU 1TB RAM 100TB HDD Storage with 10TB PCIe x4 cards with Quadro K5000 + Tesla K20 + GTx 690 SLI and 2000W+2000W PSU with custom build wood case and put them with a 4k resolution TV...

It's about $200,000! nothing can overpower a computer like this random build hehe and it's also possible but im not ganna look for prices, the 4k TV by itself is already $30,000

Sorry but these builds are intensity weak. The most powerful gaming system you can have:

-EVGA SR-X Motherboard
-Corsair Platinum 96GB @ 2000mhz+ and Cas 9
-Dual Corsair AX 1200i Power Supplies
-5 Nvidia EVGA GTX 680 Hydro Copper Editions. (4 of them in Quad SLI which destroys 690's in SLI and a 5th one for Physx)
-Dual Intel Xeon 4650's 8-Core CPU's (Maybe an overclocked 3970x may be better for gaming..not sure).
-OCZ Vector SSD or Samsung 840.


Main thing is that 4 Hydro Coppers or POV's in quad SLI overclocked will demolish a pair of regular 690's.

And for monitors...well...I'd say Triple 1080P monitors with 3D and 120Hz refresh rate (although doubtful you get framerates that high) or Triple 1600P monitors.

See, I was looking at the SR-X with DUAL CPUs but Xeons aren't that great for gaming, plus the SR-X really isn't that good. I've heard awful reviews on it. Quad 680s will destroy 2 690s, it's just the power that's hard but with 2 1200s you'll be fine haha. Definitely 840 Pro over the vector.

Well...if the game can take advantage of 16 cores...the Dual Xeons will do great.

The only benefit of the 3970X is that you can clock it up to absurdity which is great for games that use clock speed rather then many cores.

Also, if you had those dual xeons, you'd probably be able to run multiple game at the same time on different monitors.

I am very curious.I might even learn somethings from your answer.I might not maybe i will realize you were just being a bit harsh or having a bad day.Thanks in advance. :wahoo: BTW i barley start building a little over year ago so do not be to harsh with me please. :love:

BloodyDream3,

A fun project, to try and work out the best solution regardless of cost. And, when imagining ways to spend someone else's money- always ask an architect!

Follows is a quick idea for an ultimate gaming system that uses a successful, but fairly conventional processor / motherboard that takes advantage of GPU acceleration in the form of an outboard GPU enclosure that extends the number of PCIe X16 slots. the alternative was to use a multiple CPU board as another way to extend the PCIe rails available, but as the Nestor outboard GPU modules adds the calculation power, it saves about $35,000 in Xeon E7 10-core processors. The disk system is based on a 480GB OCZ Revodrive 3 X 2, an LSI Logic SAS RAID controller, and 5X Western Digital SAS HD's in RAID 5.

Components that seems minimized or neglected in these ultimate build threads are the monitor and especially the sound system. In this idea, there is more expenditure on the monitor and sound system than the CPU/GPU. There's always a fuss about having several high-benchmark graphics cards, but it seems all those pixels shot out the cannon go to 27" 1980 X 1080 monitors. Not Good enough! In this idea, the Planar 84" monitor runs at 3840 x 2160. This would obviously need a situation where the gamer sits about 12' away. Sound too, is important, and in an earlier thread, a poster though I was a wasting money on an $85 dedicated sound card. However, in my view, the sound ought to be a great thundering sound. There is a 7.1 channel AV receiver powering 6X floorstanding speakers -2X Front, 2X Side, 2X Rear, 2X Subwoofers with built-in 300W amplifier,
and a single Center.

Several aspects of this idea are not fully addressed, especially component cooling.

Besides gaming, this should be a good video editing station and in moderate GPU accelerated supercomputing applications>
