Yeah, you just bought the most expensive things you could. Either you don't know much about computers (in which case you should be asking us), or you just want to brag that you have the "best."

Throwing more money at a computer doesn't always make it better - breadwhistle's rig will do the same as yours in 99% of all cases. The ones where it won't will be, say, folding protein simulations, which you probably don't care about.

Spending $5000 is just silly, when you can max out any game with well less than half that. Do your research, and save yourself some money. Perhaps build TWO ultimate computers, for friends to use when they come over, if you really, REALLY want to waste five grand.

$5000 for 3 TV screen, i wont purchase a $5000 just for using only 1 monitor, if i use 1 monitor, i will get a $1000 pc not $5000 because it uses less power, and i am not an enthusiast gamer, i am just a casual gamer

You could have phase change cooling FFS! As others said you know very little about computers, you threw money at it and called it good. -__- You are what is wrong with the new generation of PC gamers.
Edit: That was immature of me, I'm sorry but sometimes things like this anger me. Again, I'm really sorry. :(

^It's all of our first reactions.
Even if you're an enthusiast gamer, though... I mean, TWO 690s in quad SLI is enough to game on NINE monitors.

EDIT: Actually, that sounds really, really awesome. Someone please stop me from spending more money I don't have?

:lol: i don't like the keyboard seems like you and me are the only ones though :lol: I personally prefer mechanical keyboards, but not everyone does.

For me, the Ducky Shining takes the cake - Backlit in red/green/blue/white, comes in red/brown/black/blue switches.

From there I would look at Deck Legend boards, Filcos, and maybe on a budget the BW.If you don't like Mech boards, the Logitech G19 is pretty neat

Ha, I read that and thought you were saying you were buying a GTX 670 FTW with the backplate for $19. :p

I disagree with you there, bigcyco - backlights aren't my thing. I have a Leopold that's completely blank (with flat windows keys and white esc, wsad, and arrows.)

Personally I love it, because the white is just enough to orient me, and it's hilarious when someone sits at my computer and goes WTF. Backlights would be distracting, I think. (Even the little led on my mouse distracts me sometimes.)

Ooh, that's getting bookmarked. Nice find!

Still like my Leopold /w browns better, though. Might have to look at those ergonomic mechanicals for my arthritis stricken mother, though. She uses a normal ergonomic one now, but the mechanical would be even easier for her.
