    What the fuck?
    Getting a workstation card for gaming is a no no.
    Give me your budget and I'll make something out.

    2.5k grand no problem.
    There's no graphics card because it was not in stock, the GTX 690 is sold out.
    Total should be under 2.6k


    What was with your first build?
    64GB RAM?
    You know that you gotta unlock your drives with a program if you got a high capacity storage right?

    Judging by his first post, he looks like a person who would show off.

    Well instead of that 680 you should he should get a 670 as it is a slightly less powerful version of the 680 and much cheaper.
