The Ultimate $50000 Build Request - I want the total MAX

post #1 of 173

Thread Starter 
So, I have a $50000 budget, throw whatever you got. I seriously won the lottery, but I won't go into that. Anyways, I want anything I can't. Every part to the maxed, every good accessory, to make my system a total beast. Think you can handle it? tongue.gif

Go.

Money is no object at all.

Whatever cooling you think is best, I do need a monitor though.


Basically full tower, with what you guys feel would be the best and the monitor and any accessories (Gaming mice, headset, etc.)

I think water cooling might be better. Dunno.

I am smelling something along the lines of dual 3960x on that motherboard w/ 2 phase change systems cooling individually, 128gb of ram and Quad 7970s. Oh and throw like 5-10 ssd drives in raid 0. Something along this? And the case must be a case labs mth-10 or something along those lines! biggrin.gif:D
