    The best computer would probably be the most expensive. Just say best bang/$ computer, but we would need a price range... you can't just tell us to build a computer.

    Are you kidding me? NO, the 7950GX2 is a rip.

    But two X1900XT and crossfire them.

    X1900XT

    That's the fastest card out there.

    7950GX2 is not a rip, you may think it is becuase some of the CF setups beat it but its only becuase its on 4x AA/8x AF. The 7950GX2 was meant to used in XHD with max AA/AF and not lose any performance.

    Te 7950GX2 is a RIP it's not worth the price at all you can get an x1900XT for a lot less that performs the same and better oc'd thats why NVIDIA shoulden't of made it. It won't last. X1900XT runs anything on high including oblivion and FEAR and with crossfire who knows what the 3d mark 06 score would be. GX2 is a Rip for the price.

    good luck running it on that PSU...

    only thing that is officially approved to run quad SLI is PCP*Ps 1K PSU.

    also, that nf4 board is crap, if anythign wait until n590 because a 2 year old chipset like that doesn't cutt it, and benchmarks shwo it. you would be better off using a 975X or RD600 motherbaord and using hacked drivers than using nf4

    and for the record, quad SLI is a waste, only thing is is good for is insane defintion and only the large 30 inch LCD monitors from apple and dell support it... and those monitors are kind of lagish and aren't really the best gaming monitors. I'd suggest two x1900XTs in crossfire based on the simple fact that they cost half as much, don't suck so much damn power and that it is pointless to spend so much when DX10 is just around the corner.

    4x 1GB? Umm, are you going to pull DDR4 out of your ass or something? Just because he can afford it, doesn't mean he should get it.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231065

    Um, no, not 1x 500GB. Terrible bang/$.
    2x 320GB == 640GB -- $160. Wow, less money, more space!

    Monitor.. I would go with ViewSonic or Acer, both trusted brands by me.

    my suggestions for case+psu:
    get a full tower, the space is nice to have for good wiring
    case:

    somebody that feels like picking out a good water cooling kit and choose from here if they want--

    For the mouse, wait for Microsofts Intellimouse to return. It's going to be uber, I'll probably be getting one. Read more about it here.
