Hello everyone! I have looked through this sight and am quite impressed by you guys!
I have recently gained a very nice amount of money, and i really am into electronics. So i would like to build my own PC! My plan is to buy baisically the best computer possible! I would like you guys to tell me what ever the best to get it. My budget it baisically non-existent ($80,000...). (+ i after that i have enough to buy a new $5000 PC every 2 years for the next 30 years, which is my plan) I use my PC for intense gaming, multi-tasking, and media junk. Included in the $80,000 dollar price range is i want a nice display setup...(i was thinking tri monitors, each like as big as possible... ) i want a media center... so include: processor ( i was leaning toward AMD) mobo ram video card sound card harddrive[s] (i was thinking something that was fast... like 10,000 RPM or 15,000 RPM for primary and something HUGE for secondary) Case (atx full tower) cooling (i plan to OC best i can) tuner speakers (7.1) display (three huge monitors) OS ( i was plannin on media center... and getting vista when it came out) i would like to buy everything from NewEgg.com......

r u serious? $80k and $5k every 2 years?!?!?! i would rather buy a nice car and a decent PC which you have now, or maby just upgrade the PC you have now to a x2 and a better GPU like the x1900xt.
well if you want to wait you can get the new AM2 CPU's and mobo's and the new 7900GTX 512mb in Quad SLI that are comming out. also theirs the $2.2k 30"monitor by DELL which is really nice.

If money isnt an object, look at this. Although im sure Praetor could build you an even better one if you want.
EDIT: Im sure you could use this motherboard if you want to go to the upmost extreme.

Yes the motherboard is insane but does not have AGP or PCI-Express, rendering it useless in terms of graphics power which he seems to want given that he is building a media PC. MSI's Nforce 4 Professional motherboard (looks like this: http://img.hexus.net/v2/features/nfo.../board_big.jpg - could not access MSI website for exact model) is a good choice becase it is SLI capable and allows for two dual-core processors. What more could you ask for?
