Best build for $7,500

[Guest]

What's the absolute best build money can possibly buy for $7,500

 

[RonRave]

That depends entirely upon your needs. Also, are you just needing the desktop portion or do you need monitor(s) kb, mouse, etc?

 

[Guest]

Not including including a monitor or keyboard / mouse and no OS as Linux will be put on this monster.

 

[Barty1884]

'Best' is subjective.

$7,500 is an extreme amount of money to spend on a build - with severely diminishing returns from $2,500+.

Unless you're looking at a rendering/editing machine that needs to annihilate 4K+ video, with numerous 4K monitors in use, there's unlikely to be any justifiable reason to spend that much.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Still need intended usage.

Wolfshadow is right on the money. $3,000 is about the most you could possibly spend on a gaming machine before you're paying for bragging rights lol.

What is this machine doing?

 

[Guest]

Well in general I just want this machine to be capable of doing ANYTHING. Not just gaming though I don't "game".

 

[Guest]

And this machine won't really be built as that's a lot of money it's just a dream or IF I wanted to. So I can know what it would be.

 

[RonRave]

Lol - I don't want to be a dick (ok maybe I do a little) but if you don't game, render high resolution videos, or work with massive datasets you don't need to spend more than $1,500 on a computer.

 

[Guest]

I do want bragging rights since I was jealous with the whole LinusTechTips $30,000 PC running 8 games on a box.

 

[Guest]

I don't really game in real life but if I were ever to and do all of what you said and more like seti and folding and what not

 

[Guest]

Just a theoretical build ya know

There's nothing that wouldn't do, and do very, very well.

Does it do anything 4x better than a $2,000 rig though? Probably not.

Or you can be a nice guy and donate it to a worthy cause?

 

[Guest]

Preferably a i7 build and just as ridiculous as you can get...

 

[rgd1101]

Just a theoretical build ya know

or just trolling.

 

[Guest]

Like I said I'm not going to actually build this.

 

[why_wolf]

I'm just going to do a crazy person build. Here's the most expensive available parts all put together. Hint its the same as the down payment for a house. 😛
