Best Computer Possible

So, you're driving home from work, and this random guy in a big tourist bus runs up, and hands you a briefcase. Once he's sure you have it, he bolts in the other direction, hops in the bus, and speeds away. You decide to open it when you get home.
So after a long day at work, when your boss has lowered your pay for the 10th time that year, you open up the briefcase. Your eyes widen, your jaw drops.
It is full to the BRIM with stacks and stacks of $100 bills. You didn't realize how big the suitcase was before. After a long counting session, you find that each stack holds ~300 bills, and they are in a grid 5x10. 5x10x300x$100, even before you do it, your mind is overcome with joy. You have just been given $1,500,000.
At the bottom of the suitcase, it says "This is money for YOU. Not your family, your friends, or even your wife. You are required to build the best PC one could buy. You have 24 hours until it detonates. Goodbye."
What would you do? Let's find the best PC possible! (Besides Google's, those things are the size of warehouses)

you could have chosen 10,000rpm drives and stuff. not sure it's the best possible but in all honesty I'm not bothered to compete.
Also the titan z isn't the best card in terms of real world performance, go for dual 980s and you will get nearly double the performance.

This is without a keyboard/mouse/etc. The whole computer, fans, monitors, and everything needed. But for the keyboards, I'd get the best mechanical keyboard out. And then a common steel series mouse, because I love those things.

Change the cards to the source pub and buy water blocks to custom watercool the system.

Source pub? No idea what you mean, unless you mean the pcb board? But I'm sure you can find a water block for the Classified ACX 2.0, it's a mainstream GPU.
But yeah, watercool it, with a blue, or white water running through it.

id buy a quantum pc.

Don't care if it's overpriced, illogical, and going to melt under all that heat. If you have $1,500,000, then you're gonna spend it. If it melts, I'll buy 13 more. Then, when I realize my problem, I'll get custom water loops.

Two PSUs to handle all those watts...
Or, you could go with this... But that's less fun.
1
Has infinite money. Builds AMD FX computer.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't live near a Micro Center or other computer parts shop, because that's the only way you'll be able to get the parts fast enough to build anything in 24 hours.
1
if this was a true story that would be amazing. but 24hr probably isn't enough to build the best pc possible, or even enough money (?)
1
Nice backstory. (Even if it is kind of weird.)
Sucks that I don't know which parts are good. (I know how they operate, though..)
