My verdict: 10/10

[Strategist01]

Uh, I'd rather put that amount of money toward a car...but two thumbs up!

[AcidRaZor]

Car? No way. I'd use that cash to fund my business

[Solitude]

Want to see a similar pc getting sold second hand?

Insane!

[SpoOkie]

Graphics Card = 3x GTX 285

Motherboard = EVGA or FoXXcon, much much better then that lego gigabyte thing

[The Joker]

NO way dude, that setup is perfect, I wouldn't change anything.
3 4870x2's in crossfire = yum yum
That "lego" board is a EX by the way, its probably the best board money can buy.

[Grimspoon]

I would MUCH rather buy myself a new motocross bike!!

[The Joker]

If money wasn't a problem would you buy that rig, and be honest!!

[Grimspoon]

Personally I think it is just overkill!

[Dan]

Personally I think it is just overkill!

True, a rig costing half the price would run games equally well.
