A Computer to shame all Other Computers?
If you had $20,000 to spend on a computer - what components would you pick ?
This would be a typical non-specific build, but also be 4K gaming ready.
Would you do the top end 6th gen Core i7 Extreme @ $1500 ?
How much RAM ? Most never use more than 3GB-5GB - is 16GB the most that will be used (not bitcoin mining and never do more than 1 VM @ a time)
With SSD so fast, there is no point in doing a RAM disk. So maybe 16-24GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum?
As far as storage - a 2TB Samsung 960 Pro for a boot drive, then maybe 5x 2TB SSD in a RAID 50 ?
Obviously go with 2x 1080GTX for grafx -
Mobo - top of the line x99 ASUS @ $500 ?
Cooling: All fans being Corsair's new MagLev
But a custom watercooling setup - is 2 loops enough ? Hard pipe ? Ceramic ?
Case: This is tough - A murderbox ?
Monitors: - 2x 32" Dell UltraSharps 4K ? Or - is there something better ? Anyone make a 120Hz 4K gaming monitor yet ? Will it fit under the budget restraints ?
I used to pay attention to this stuff, but no longer do. I have more resources than I used to, but dont know what to get - anyone can go to part builder websites and just check off the most expensive stuff - but I would like to know what others would do, hopefully from people who build / spec for a living/hobby/passion.
Lastly - is ColorwarePC the best place to have a top-notch paint job on the case ?
Lava Orange of course. I want it to look like it is glowing hot.
Thanks
