    A computer build:
    Case -
    (nothing public fits the motherboard, so a custom case is required)
    Mobo -
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813151136
    Memory - 16x
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146576
    Processor - 4x
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103573
    Hard Drives - 5x
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822111151
    Videocards - 4x
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130270

    That brings this total to... $20465.00 without tax/shipping/monitor/keyboard/mouse/case

    This computer would function as a:
    9.6GHz AMD Dual Core (OC at 10% to 10.56GHz)
    32GB Memory
    735GB 15,000 RPM 8MB Cache Space
    1GB Video Memory on a PCIx16

    Anything wrong with this build or any way to better optimize it?

    (Not gonna buy this, just trying to make the absolute best build at the current time)

    Merged Post:


    Sorry, fine me and move to computers please.

    You would have to be a nut or someone who uses this computer to major things to ever want to spend 20+k on a comp.

    I would rather get a car. I would use part of it to put as a down for a car and use the rest to gamble or get a hooker. lol.

    While that card is the best on the market currently, i am unsure as to whether it will work with that motherboard (sadly). Thats why im using the cheap video setup on there right now.

    Also, the main portion of that price is the memory (its like $540/stick and you have 16 in it)

    I would get two 512mb 7800GTXs they are abit ahead of the 7300s... actually a lot ahead.



    I have to agree with you on that.

    why not just spend 1/10th as much and get a new computer 10 times as often, or better yet, half as often and save the $
