I just broke my budget having to replace an old rig that I had built 5 years ago for running 3ds Max and Maya. This was an expense that I really did not want right now due to PSU and video cards availability and the price gouging going on. I was able to get decent deals on both though, thank you to my local Fry's Electronics store and a couple of online retailers.

I know that most will say that this is an overkill build, especially on the cooling side. For me it is about have a solid system with plenty of overhead and the ability to last, water cooling systems do degrade over time no matter the level of maintenance.
I was planning on replacing that old rig at the end of the year anyways until that asshole Murphy stepped in but that is life. I needed the rig and I needed it today.
BTW - yes the price for parts was about $8500 usd
