    Default Insane gaming rig

    As you guys know I am planning on launching a online pc shop.
    Decided on the name. But anyway enough of that.

    I've been building quite a few rigs in my spare time and I will have professional photo's taken of them in the next month or two. Anyway I am busy negotiating a really big deal at the moment, so I thought I would share what I am going to be doing in the next couple of weeks.

    The rig in question is priced in excess of R50 000

    Specs:



    Chassis:



    Thermaltake Level 10 Designed by BMW.



    Cpu:

    Core i7 3960x Sandy Bridge E



    Motherboard:



    Asus ROG R4E



    Ram:



    G.Skill Z 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2400



    Screen:



    Samsung S27A950D 3D LED



    These are the parts we have decided on for now. Will update as soon as we decide on the GPU's and HDD's.

    What do you guys think?

    Just curious what is the motivation to spent that kind of money on something that is to be outdone in few months as technology progresses.

    Main reason..He is a Apple fan of note..Believes they are the be all and end all of everything and as you know apple mac isn't exactly cheap, so we got to talking and I told him I could get him a case designed by bmw and I would build him a rig that would destroy any and everything apple has to offer. He is a BMW fanatic, So he was hooked.

    I still maintain. You only live once and if you can afford too...Why not live large and enjoy life..You only get one.

    Looks awsome , the price is just .. questionable ..
    im pretty sure one could be able to build a rig that would hold its own against that beast and cost about half.

    That said , the rig you are building does look damn sexy and if money wasnt a question i would have ordered one :P~~~

    lol well the cpu is around R11 000, the motherboard in the region of about R6000, the case around R11 000 and the screen roughly R6000. Then there is still the question about the gpu's, hdd's ect ect
