Hello! 😀

I won $10,000 last week, and since I am fairly stable financially, I have decided to treat my self to a new gaming computer. While I already have a monitor/mouse and keyboard, I assume with a build of that price I will want new peripherals.

Approximate Purchase Date: Probably a few weeks.

Budget Range: Less than $10000, including shipping.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming primarily, but I will use it for everything.
Are you buying a monitor: Probably.


Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Doesn't matter, as long as the site is safe and well respected. (AKA, no questionable foreign sites or anything.)

Location: America

Parts Preferences: Best possible for the price.

Overclocking: Probably.

SLI or Crossfire: Well, I assume there isn't a single GPU for $10000, so I will probably need more than one.

Your Monitor Resolution: Currently 1600 x 900. Open to suggestions for new one.

Additional Comments: I'd like to be able to play all games, and the games coming up in the next few years at a high resolution on maximum settings, if possible.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Cause I can. My current computer just has a Core 2 Duo and Geforce 8800GT or however you say it.

Thank you!
 
do you enjoy the build? otherwise i would say get a custom built computer from maingear with liquid cooling. personally i would build one myself, its like christmas getting all the parts in the mail, and the build process is the best part
 
go here.....this company has wayy better quality pcs than alienware, wayy better customer service, and wayyy less of a rip off lol

Also they have the coolest looking cases that u can also customize 😀

You are an idiot if you spend $10,000 on a computer. Realistically? $5K will last you for oh, I don't know... six years? Seven years?

If I were you, I'd spend $5K on a nice PC, then $5K on a trip somewhere.

It is your money, so it is your call. 😛
 


lol not a total rip off he says.

that is just as much of a ripoff as trying to sell a $1000 computer the same price after 5 years
 
This is the ultimate gaming PC build, it's way off your budget but it will be able to kill any game for the next 5 years at least. Behold:
THE FASTEST GAMING SUPERCOMPUTER IN THE WORLD

Everything but the kitchen sink, including an automotive paint finish to brag about and make others drool with envy, and a 4K monitor to make use of all that extreme graphics power. Not for the faint hearted.

OK here's a more budget-conscious build, you still get the extreme processing and graphics power and an ultra high-end computer.

UPDATE: Do remember that both builds above are only for EXTREME 4K gaming. If you don't require that much horsepower, cut down to a 1440p at least (That's where graphics is at now) to make your money well spent while enjoying excellent graphics.

If the two builds above don't satisfy you and you want nothing but the best, I ain't got nothing to say lol.
Your only exception left will be this:

It uses the CRYO-TEC liquid cooling system to achieve sub-zero temperatures on ypur CPU and GPU. I don't know much about the OP, but you're gonna have to be a millionaire or rob a bank or something if you want to afford that.
