Building a computer for school work (heavy 3dD modeling, 3D flash game making, Heavy Gaming) . Ya i know i just built a computer that will do all these things fine, but the parents are paying for this one

so i figure i can take advantage of that. I want this computer to blow everything out of the water. Water cooling, preferably TRI-SLI, tons of fast ram

, preferably a i7 or 2

, some solid state drives, blueray burner, and i think im going to get the new razer mamba mouse and maybe a g19 keyboard ? And hell why not throw in a nice monitor thats bigger than 32in, as thats what i already have. Now the budget is pretty much limitless but try to keep it under 10k.

Have fun

EDIT: also include a good sound system and sound card!

And your current pc couldn't handle this task why?

Sorry bro, but it kind of disgusts me how you are so easily willing to waste there money.

Wolfegang16 · July 2nd, 2009, 01:12 AM

im not wasting their money, my family just won a large sum of money and they asked what i wanted with my share and as i already got a new guitar and car i still had alot left over so i figured id build a sick computer. And i think i may be giving my computer to a friend as he just lost his computer when his basement flooded.

Hmmmm, 10 Grand Budget, damn, well there goes that build Idea... Dual 3.2GHz Socket 1366 Xeon Quads, 6x 12GB DDR3 1066 Triple channel kits (18 sticks) ECC Registered RAM, 4x GTX 295 Water Cooled cards (one run for games or as primary display, the other 3 run independently for Folding@Home, or multiple displays, etc)...

well that about limits the build, all of the above parts come to $91xx something already, and haven't even delved into the storage, water cooling, case, or sound card/system, etc LOL...

lets try this again LOL...

just missing OS, Speakers, and Watercooling kit/heatsinks/waterblocks.

LOL, I know this system is absurd, but for $10K budget, couldn't help by try and piece together something.

as is with out parts mentioned above, comes to $8,987.78 before shipping, and a whopping $80 in Mail in Rebates LOL... just enough to keep it under 9 Grand so you have a grand to spend on Water cooling, Speakers and an OS

Wolfegang16 · July 2nd, 2009, 06:31 PM

Not only that, but that motherboard can only handle a total of 4 GPU's. Tri sli and one for physics, that's it. Even if you had all single slot cards, you still couldn't utilize them like your thinking.
I'll make a list too.

KarmaKiller · July 2nd, 2009, 07:11 PM

Ok, so now that I'm sitting here thinking about it, couple questions.
1. Do you HAVE to spend the money now, or your just wanting to?
2. Say if you only spent 5 grand, could you keep the other 5?
3. probably just easier if you jump on the IM'er, I'm gonna drill you with questions..

Wolfegang16 · July 2nd, 2009, 09:44 PM

lol ill be on in a few
