baddest build...6k budget

[jeeprnovru]

ok guys if you have a 6k budget what would be the makings of a component built super cruncher...the widler the better!

im thinking of a serverboard basr and 64 of memory lots of xeon and some multiple gpu

EDIT (since I'm an idiot and posted to the wrong thread):

MOBO: $800
CPU: $769 x 4
RAM: $51 x 16
GPU: $700 x 1
PSU: $400 x 1

That hits $5800 - you'll need a case, HDD, OS, etc., but that will get you close. This will NOT maximize credits, but it will crunch the hell out of some CPU projects and throw up some decent GPU credits. I'm a MMer, so that's my ideal rig o' the moment...

I may be wrong, but were there any AM2+ Mobos that were no backwards compatible with an AM2 socket? The one I have is, and I never found one that wasn't...

i could swear i've seen this exact thing posted somewhere else...Deja vu!

Hush - I'm dumb... I edited my post to what I meant it to say.

Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188059

CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115212

GPU X 4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814187127

1500 watt PS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256054

so thats around 4100 currently.. without a case or hd or drives or monitor etc etc..

id probably throw in3 SSD Drives in raid 5, and those run couple hundred bucks each.. then a monster tower.. etc etc

easily hit the 6k point and then some.

I second this!

My base configuration of this system will be operational by Monday morning.

i like where you are goin wtih this but i could cut some fat...3 SSHDS? i could do alot with the money making two units up and leaning on GPUs.

precisely! my 2 cents id find a gpu that will be usable for the longest time(meaning hopefully it wont be insignificant in 3 yrs) buy as many as you can in as many box's as you need middle road mb drives dont matter any junk laying around. nice efficient reliable powersupplies. throw in a 50$ cpu or even a badass one its your build just have fun and btw id think you'd be our next major player if you pull this off! just do it man!!! a new gpu will do 750k alone per day or so i believe so imagine 4 or 6!!!! plenty of intelligent computer freaks here to guide you
