Things you can buy for the price of a top-end gaming system

We spec a top-end gaming system, and then show you what else the same money can buy

[MOnk]

That's way, way beyond a "top-end gaming system".

If you spend R145 000 on a computer you are an a moron. R20K is pushing it.

All in good fun

I'd like to see what a more realistic rig could be compared to though just for interest's sake.

Well that rig really makes the NAG dream machine look like a piece of shit.

[Mr.Wizard]

For the same price I'd rather get a system for R20k, most of the steam catalogue, and someone to bring me sammiches

[xeyne]

With a fantasy budget they only got Logitech G19?

Y U NO GET Maximus Optimus

[MOnk]

While you at it, why only get a 30" screen when you could get an 8K cinema projector????

[The Joker]

There is a lot wrong with that setup...That's not a dream gaming rig. More a benching rig.

Considering 4x 7970's is useless for gaming...I would even say 3 is a bit much seeing as 2 cards are ideal as soon as you add more, the scaling drops a heck of a lot, so those 2 extra cards are only really pushing 25%. So complete waste of cash.

I'll put together a dream gaming rig a bit later when I have free time.

No you don't get it, you have 4 so you can play two games at the same time, multitasking biatch!
