Hello there,
I'm thinking of spending $3,000 - $4,000 on a good gamer PC.
So, should I buy one? Alienware, MSI etc?
Or should I build my own? If any of you have experience in building a good rig, come up with some good information please :)
Build your own, Alienwares are fucking shit for their price.
$3000-4000 is pretty steep, a gaming PC would set around $1800 or if lucky $1200. Use the left overs for peripherals or a new monitor if you want.
A GTX 690 is well within your budget. I recommend two 670s though.
LGA 2011 offers powerful processors with six cores, but games won't really run faster than an i7 Ivy Bridge, unless you're going hardcore with four video cards.
Could someone here build a PC for $3500 etc with monitor, and I will take a look at it.

Probably the best build for around $1600 and its more than what you need for gaming, you don't need an i7, over 8 gigs of ram is overkill, You could add a 2nd gtx 670 if you wants.

Theres no point of an i7 or a 2011 socket, and if this guy was about to buy an alienware for $4000 this is probably more than what he needs considering for a decent alienware it costs around $2900.
Get a 690, a 512gb SSD, a 120hz monitor OR a 27" monitor with very high resolution.

2 670's will out perform a 690 and is $200 cheaper, it would make more sense to run a raid 10 setup instead of getting a 512 gb ssd, I will agree on the 27 inch monitor or the 120 hz though.

I specifically discouraged him not to get LGA 2011. The i7 was just an example I used to compare with due to the fact that it represents the highest tier LGA 1155 processor.
Yes I said raid 10 because he could get 2 SSD's and run them in raid 1 and then 2 regular hard drives in raid 0. SSD's for speed and reg HDD's for backup. Correct me if I mixed up raid 0 and raid 1.
I'm serious guys, i actually want to spend $3500.
Just bring some sick ass computers, cause they will be used for work, gaming etc

There's no point of spending all 3500, spend half and save up for a new build in 5 - 6 years.

Then get a bunch of SSDs in RAID or something. You've pretty much hit the ceiling in terms of performance.

That, or get an extremely good monitor.

Why calling me a retard lol. Thank you.. You're so kind.
Cause only retards blow $4000 on a computer they are going to use for just gaming.

Lol, sorry for asking you.
[QUOTE=Noztra;36285653]Lol, sorry for asking you.[/QUOTE]
He's not the only person who is going to tell you that.
seriously a top of the line computer is only around $1500
save the extra money for gas or a rainy day
[QUOTE=Noztra;36285653]Lol, sorry for asking you.[/QUOTE]
Seriously man, you're going to regret spending this much. I mean eventually we'll have more than DirectX 11, and higher shader models and new features that your 4 GTX 670's won't support. Then you will have to replace the most expensive part of your system to play and you'll be disappointed with the build. It'd be so much easier to do what Zerokateo is suggesting and spending less money on the build, but keeping the other $2000 that you're planning on spending on the build in your bank for future upgrades when they roll around.
Bottom line is you'll be disappointed with yourself if you buy the $4000 one. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. OK, maybe not that long. But listen to Zerokateo. He knows his shit.

well it's also that why would ANYONE need anything in Zerotakeo's $4k build
It has two SSDs. Okay, I can justify one, but two? Four hard drives, which I guess if you need a lot of storage or redundancy. The 2x8GB of RAM is plain overpriced, just get 4x4GB of RAM. 1350W PSU... no average desktop will use that much.
Don't spend money just to spend money, buy what you need and save the rest or you will regret it.
Okay, I will buy a $1500 rig, and save the money for a new rig in 5-6 years

Or alternatively you could just upgrade it as big new hardware comes out instead of just doing a blowout every few years. But with the $1500 build Zerokateo has put together, you won't need to upgrade anything for a while.

Where did he build it? I don't know where i can buy it with no link included.
Can someone pull up those parts for him for me? I can't get newegg to load.
I'm going to put this into perspective.
Even a mac user could struggle to justify spending $4000 on a computer.

He built it on [url=http://www.newegg.com]Newegg[/url].
Kay, thank you
[QUOTE=Noztra;36286153]Kay, thank you[/QUOTE]
What kind of work? 3D modelling or heavy video editing?
[QUOTE=Juggernog;36286119]He built it on [url=http://www.newegg.com]Newegg[/url].[/QUOTE]
I'm going to laugh if he gets the parts in the mail and he's all sad because it isn't built, just a heads up, you will have to put it together in case you haven't realized that. I had a friend who didn't once and spent $3,000 on a PC just to break half the parts trying to put it together.
Build a computer that costs $1500. Then tape the remaining money covering the case.
