- i7-5930k because it's cheaper than a 5960 and I saw very little difference except the 5960 having more cores which doesn't really matter.

- Everything else is self explanatory really


I like this one, only because they didnt just add like 5 4k monitors into it and chose a decent CPU over a way overpriced one.


It's called design the Best PC, not the most cost effective one.

I'd get the 5920k. 2 way SLI is my goal. Along with 1440p.

Fighterbear12Whole pile if poopy PCs popping up here!


Lol. Just read the title. Of course they are!


What?
If you're PC is the 'best PC' then you most likely have the most effective one.

MIke1022I'm releasing my second design, which is a monster. Here we go!

Motherboard:

Intel® Server Board S4600LT2

Link: http://www.compsource.com/pn/S4600LT2/Intel-211/ (You can find this on Intel ARK too.)

Price: $1,230

CPU(s):

4x Intel Xeon E5-2687W V3 3.1GHz 10-Core Processor

Link: http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemn ... ID=3938566

Price: $8,340

RAM:

Crucial 128GB (4 x 32GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Link: http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemn ... ID=3938566

Price: $3,245

Video Card:

ASUS Graphics Cards R9295X2-8GD5

Link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JVKWNQY/?tag=pcpapi-20

Price: $1,570

Storage:

5x Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7TE1T0BW)

Link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch- ... B00E3W16OU

Price: $2,000

Power Supply:

Corsair AX1500i 1500W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Link: http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemn ... ID=3938566

Price: $430

This is the BASIC design with all the required parts, I'll add more things (like an OS and monitor) and calculate the price total later today (it will almost certainly cost $20,000+).

How cab this be $430. The motherboard anlobe cost almost 4x as much

The power supply costs that much.

I haven't added the total yet.

Too bad that thing won't run because you have a DDR3 processor and motherboard with DDR4 RAM #planning.

No point in anyone else trying to compete, I have created the greatest computer known to man! Anyone who posts from this point on is just wasting time... I have put a image and some details in the spolier.

This stylish 467BC style computer runs on the best potatoes that 10p can buy.
It does not use buttons/switches to turn it off! It does not turn on in the first place.
The inside if it barely has ANY rats in it.

For those who have not yet figured it out, this is a joke (There is always someone who takes me seriously).

I you can get a 128 GB SSD for less than $100 (I think).

Also, let's not get this thread locked by having heated arguments over little things like prebuilt computers.

Personally, I feel that this would have a whole lot more meaning to it if there was a certain scenario to the challenge.

A certain budget (Already have to work with price)
A list of games someone wants to play (This could constitute a choice between AMD and NVidia)
Do they want to record/edit videos?
How much space to they have for the tower. (Oh look, suddenly we have to create a beastly MicroATX)

And that's just the beginning. You could make an actual competition that would involve actually thinking about your choices, instead this looks like just finding the most expensive parts, and putting them together - who cares of it's an intel board with an AMD chip, right?

But you'd seriously see some much more interesting builds if you made it a challenge.

Raid SSD for pinnacle performance, 4 way SLI 980 for unmatched power, on top of that the latest extreme i7 CPU with 8 actual cores with hyperthreading. An excellent cooler for overclocking and if you really wanted some more cooling, you could buy more or replace the case fans.
