Hello,

I am new here and wanted to build my gaming PC... Can you guys share with me what are the highest end specs that are available in the market today (processor, motherboard, graphics card, chasis/psu etc)...
Thank you very much...

Unlimited budget?

this should be in the hardware questions section

n btw TS, u got a budget rite? tell us n we'll help u

Yup - unlimited budget...

is this for real?
should be more than 10K

jz look at d price u'll know which is the best

honestly? unlimited budget? if that' possible........i could quote until like er.....13000 ringgit......want? i did a survey with my friend.....the best of the best at the cheapest price XD

Processor:Intel Extreme QX9775 3.2ghz 1600FSB
Mobo:XFX 790I DDR3 3way SLI ready
Ram:2G Corsair Dominator DDR3 x2
HDD:WD Velociraptor 300G
GC:3 GTX280 Tri-SLI
PSU:Sliverstone 1200W
Casing Lian-Li V2000
Speaker:Logitech Z5500

hmm in my mind a value of rm 30k for this top end machine..
a nvidia 790i board.
gtx 280 tri sli (3 piece)
a good 4 gb of ddr3 ram
raptor 20k in raid(at least 2 piece)
a good water cooling set up
a good and masive casing
most high end intel qx proc
a massive lcd at least 30inch and above

and few more high end stuff..so it should have reach to 30k plus
not to mention the speaker plus the highest end sound card available..


if i can get my hand on this kind of project for my customer i be happy to build this system and test out the best system one could produce

Unlimted budget - highest spec PC connected to outboard amp via optical link + HiFi speakers

+ Monitor: Samsung 245B --- 1750

hifi speakers already can cost u a fortune

thats why must have a budget, not 'unlimited' hehe

I'm sure we can keep on going with the specs XD

BUDGET PLS KTHXBYE!

Sorry but I feel like this guy is a troll
Where got people will spend "unlimited budget" on a pc?

u guys have been taken for a ride

-edit-

i tot TS is trolling, sry TS

wow.. am excited to see such a great response...
I bought an Alienware hardware back 8 months ago at about USD5.5k and sold it for RM5000 later... Am looking for a new machine now as I think most the components are being replaced by more updated stuff like the Extreme Quad Core, HDD size expansion etc etc...

Sorry for not being specific earlier... I am looking for the highest end CPU (processor, motherboard, and stuff confined in the CPU box only) - I do not need monitor, speakers etc etc as I already have those...

I went to a shop today and was quoted the following specs :
Intel Extreme QX6850 3.0ghz - RM3600
Intel X38BT - RM 870
Gigabyte 9800 GTX2 1GB - RM1900
RAM - Kingston - 8GB - RM540
Seagate 1TB x2 (Raid 0) - RM1340
PSU - CM Real Power M1000 - RM880

Are there any other higher end stuff than the above ?

ur high ends stuff all is outdated info...

Higest end Processor is QX9775 which RM5200
Mobo is EVGA 790I DDR3 coz can Tri-SLI with DDR3
GTX280 is newest and most powerful card now
Ram is DDR3
HDD is WD veloraptor 300G

u wan higher end??

mobo - Striker II Formula RM1.3k
GC - GTX 280 x3 (Tri SLi) @ 2k per piece = 6k.
PSU change to Silverstone 1200w - about 1.2k (mebbe can run dual PSUs)

oh yeah....if ur monitor isnt a 30" Apple Cinema Display then i say u need that too for a high end rig. about 7k

Thanks all...
Is QX9775 already available in the market for consumer ?

Let me check out PC Depot and see if those stuff that you mentioned is already on our shores already...

Around 32k You Can Make It

dual screen?
may i know wat u work?
why can get unlimited budget?

I worked for Intel.. :-)
I found from the Alienware web : http://www.alienware.com/customize/area-51...SubCode=SKU-ENT
that the comparable specs that were mentioned in these thread were about USD7k... which is about RM22k....

Now in dilema whethere to build one myself or just purchase from Alienware...

u do have the necessary skills to assemble it rite? it shouldn't be too hard...

i have assembled some PC's before and think it should be okay...
just wanted to get a nice looking casing - the one I saw today was from Cooler Master - Stackable ? but still it doesn't have the lean and mean look like the Alienware Area 51 look....

Any other good looking casing to recommend ?

bout casings i dunno how to recommend much, how bout CM's Cosmos X? jz a noob suggestion here.

Let me get this straight, you work at Intel and you have no idea about the current crop of processors. LOL.

I am with the SAP support team and unfortunately yes I am not up to date on what are the processors that have been out in the market as there are tons of products in the line...

If you really got that money to get alienware just get it. They OC for you they put everything nice for you...they also install liquid Cooling too.....Just wait them post to you open the big box then Play Hard

Alienware doesn't ship to Malaysia, but rather have to buy and then ship to someone (your friend) who has a US postal address and collect from them whenever you have trips to there...

i understand when ur working in that field. hav nearly same experience with u TS.

if that's the case jz diy TS, it's fun n worthy as u buy n build it urself. as for oc'ing it nvr hurts to learn for it rite?

a few suggestions here by other fellow forumers should be enuff for u to plan ur purchasing d.

TS, just ask your superior to pull some contact string and get HP to ship a BlackBird to you.

TS u so kaya. adopt me plis

This should be the ultimate system.If want to go further,time to SS it.

Why not choose SkullTrail with Core 2 Extreme QX9775 x 2 since ts say its unlimited

proc also rm10k edi...what ur purpose of build up tis rig?for gaming ?

True, since your working for intel, might be able to get an engineering sample of the skull trail and 2 ES cpus since they are live already.....and if your lucky you might be able to get ES Nehalams. I hooked up a celeron ES cpu/mobo combo bout 10 years ago when i was in the same company

hey yeah since ppl are suggesting cpu here

my grandpa needs a cpu to launch his cat to the moon
whats the highest spec money can buy to achieve his dream..

thanks ppl

peace:

cstkl1 : most prolly a nuke powered multicore in Intel's skunkworks dept.

this wan can be my dream rig... boo lui

aiya..
adequate system enough la why want to waste so much money.. by this time next year.. ur system will be outdated.. and u probably can get all the same parts for 40% of the price lolz..

suggest get a processor around rm 1.5k

Good mobo costs around 600 - 700

power supply get a good one - 1200 watt - RM 800 - RM 1000

GC: goes to the GTX 280.. SLI??? up to u la.. but i think single card performance already good enough.. why u want that extra 10 FPS??
About RM 1.9K a piece.

Sound card get Xonar D2 for music: RM 500+

RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR 3 RAM from Shawty.. cheap and good ram

The rest up to u la. wat do u really want ur pc for? if u want to be in the moment... then ok la.. rm 30k will blast you off to the moon and back

But a fairly powerful system u can get it around 8K will do..

if ur super rich and money means nothing to you.. then choose the most expensive parts from the list la.. since money doesnt matter.
