First Build - $6000+/- Budget

You really shouldn't be messing with LC until you know what you are doing. Its a fairly advanced thing to have and maintain, so a closed LC loop is your best bet. So stay away from that until you learn a lot more about it, and enthusiast tier stuff until you have a better grip on it.

Otherwise:
Rampage IV Formula
i7 3870x
GTX Titan SLI
2x Samsung 840 RAID0
4x 1TB F3 Spinpoint HDDs
32GB 1600Mhz RAM
Seasonic Platinum 1000w PSU
Chaser MK-1
Corsair H110 (need to adjust the case a bit to fit, so for a newbie I would really recommend the Noctua NH-D14 Cooler and a TJ07 case)

But you should really tone it down, get a good rig for less, and save your money for important shit. That build is totally unnecessary and just a 'look at how much money I spent' type of deal.

if he is spending that much he should get open loop water cool

Money != Knowledge

Get rampage IV extreme

Hahah Definitely! I'll Make a Post In This Thread Showing The Finished Product :3

What's better, two 690's or two Titans?



How much do you think that rig would cost?
I'm not looking for 'look how much money' so much as a very powerful computer I can hold onto for awhile.
And learn to use to it's full potential. (:

Gtx 690 /each card has two chips while Titan only have one.

People commenting on the 690 should do some research on what they are talking about. Titan is better. The 690 can perform better if you only have one monitor, but the performance overhead on the Titan is significant.

And the build I posted will probably run you around $4000. But if you want something powerful, like I said, tone it down. Getting the most powerful parts is merely wasting money, because there is almost no application that would benefit from it.

Should I make a 'Build Hankk a Computer Contest' ?

With a Reward Ofcourse..
