Title says it all. If I had that kind of cash around, would this hypothetical build be appropriate?
Keep in mind, it would be my 24/7 Gaming/Photoshopping/3D Rendering/Video Editing/Coding/Music Editing/etc., build.
I've got some components covered already, like a nice 1.5TB HDD and a spare sound card, as well as the monitors, keyboard, and mouse.
At the same time, if I were to spend that kind of money, I'd probably opt for a full liquid cooling system, or at least an upgrade for the CPU over the H100.
Thoughts?
I'm guilty of not searching, but perhaps we need a hypothetical build thread
