I was trying to figure out what the best possible build would be, and I made this. Is it actually good, or are there better computers?

This would be a dual CPU, EATX build with 1TB of RAM and 76.8 TB of internal storage, with 2 Quadro graphics cards and all of the best software, as well as the best fans, monitors, and peripherals. I also threw in a laptop because it was a category.

I bet that gets eleventy billion FPS in CSGO.

While this may seem like a fun exercise, its not trust me. You're the latest in a long line of people who thought its a good idea to throw the most expensive stuff they can find into PCPP and expect to make something that is God-like. It doesn't work like that.

Because we all know what direction this thread is going to go, its closed. Please don't waste any more space on this forum with junk like this.
