[kickme829]

Hello,

Recently I was given £10,000 yes £10,000 to spend on a new pc. (its a lot but i come from a rich family).

Currently this will be my build:

2TB OCZ Technology Z-Drive p88 MLC-Flash, x8 PCI-E SSD, Read 1400MB/s, Write 1400MB/s, 512MB Cache £5,592.70 £6,711.24

8GB (4x2GB) Corsair Dominator GT, DDR3 PC3-14900 (1866), CAS 9-9-9-24, DHX, XMP, DF, 1.65V £144.14 £172.97

LN33714

60GB Corsair Force F60, MLC-Flash, 2.5" Sandforce SSD, Read 285MB/s, Write 275MB/s, w/ bracket £82.60 £99.12

LN35190

Bitfenix Colossus, Glacier White, with Blue/Red Switchable LED, USB3 Ready, Full Tower Case w/o PSU £109.49 £131.39

LN35249

4GB XFX HD 5970, Black LE, PCI-E 2.1 (x16), 4800MHz GDDR5, GPU 850MHz £1,521.18 £1,825.42

LN36661 x2

Asus P8P67 Pro, Intel P67 Express, S 1155, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), DDR3 2200(OC), SATA 6Gb/s, SATA RAID £118.67 £142.40

Not sure about PSU Cooling and Motherboard.

I would appreciate all help.

PSU cooling ?!

You mean "CPU" i guess , Noctua D14 air...

 

[alicarve]

thats alot of money lol, psu go for a corsair or nzxt

heatsink noctua nh-d14 as snw said

go for mushkin ram

if it was me i would still go with socket 1366

Mobo: Asus rampage III Extreme

Cpu: Intel i7 970

h/s: noctua nh-d14

ram: mushkin 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-16000 10-10-10-27 Ridgeback

psu: NZXT hale 90 1000w

SSD: Crucial c300 256gb a few of them or bigger if there is

Case: NZXT Phantom white

GPU: 3 x GTX 580s

 

[Stryker64]

RAM: Mushkin Ridgebacks @2000MHz.

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200

CPU Cooler, Noctua D14, (But with that much money, maybe opt for water cooling?)

Motherboard: MSI Big Bang Marshal if you are willing to wait.

Graphics cards 3xMSI Lightning GTX580s (When they come out) or 3xMSI Lightning 6970 (If you perfer AMD/ATI)

Sound Card : ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 Deluxe (Better sound quality, and you have the money)

No idea why you want a Corsair Force SSD if you are getting the OCZ PCIe one.

EDIT: You may need to change you case to a HAF X if you want to fight all that in your case.

With that kinda budget I'd go SR-2 with 6 core Xeons. Dump that z-drive IMO and get SSDs. The cost is most definitely not worth the price of admission. Also, does P67 even support tri-sli or trifire?

Spend the rest of the money on a good triple monitor setup!

something like this with a few tweaks should do ya. and second a nice screen setup.

 

[Stryker64]

The MSI Big Bang Marshal is meant to somehow enable 3way SLI, even though a default P67 can't.

Gigabyte P67A UD7 has an NF200 chip on it to support 3 way SLI and Crossfire I believe.

most likely ill go with water cooling. And from what i hear on the forums Mushkin is a fan favourite.

However i'm pretty new to water cooling. Can anyone give me a fewtips and tricks in regards?

all that money yet no sense,have you not seen the SB reviews have you not seen the 580's do you not no OCZ are now starting to make poo stuff,do you not no quadfire does not work in 99% of games.

look some stuff up and ask the guys hear what they would spend say half that budget on

Calm down AMD he did state that he needs help. IMO go with what lasher said just with liquid cooling with a danger den double wide chassis instead of that lian li one and add another two gtx 580's and you have an ultimate system which only servers can beat (atleast i think so).

 

[AMDFTW]

welll under budget this is not INc cooling as you would be goin water and RAM would be mushkin but Scan dont sell it

 

[Grizzly]

For your case I'd say look into the window version that is being released soonish. With that money you should also be getting multiple 570s or 580s instead of 5970s, and x58 or the SR-2 as opposed to P67.

In his defence OCZ are decent manufactures of the PCI SSDs.

I would totally have a killer eyefinity or surround setup. I didn't see what he was planning on doing. If the goal is just spending 10k then that shouldn't be too hard. But as someone said I would look into 1366 to soak up some of that money. And imo there shouldn't be a mechanical drive on that shopping list lol

Mechanical hard drive? He wants a 2TB SSD!!!!!!Which soaks up half the money, and it's like having 8 normal SSDs in RAID and I think TRIM works with the super SSD as well.

What the eff, I could of sworn I saw one on their earlier. Must have been edited. Wow. I couldn't see myself spending that kind of money even if I had it lol. I would end up building like a 2000 dollar rig and spending another 3 on monitors and going like...umm lets go have some drinks. On ME

[e101y7]

that is a lot of money to spend on a pc for almost no advantage - you'd be better of with say a 2.5k build and then doing a new 2.5k build say every 2 years - just my opinion

 

[kickme829]

What makes Mushkin a much better choice than anyother company?
