    Re: baddest build...6k budget

    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...

    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.

    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
