am i getting ripped off? or can you guys help me get something similar for alot cheaper?

ty for the help :)
 
Looks overpriced to me. You can get 8 core processor computers for like 3k. That would be two quad cores of course.

It'l be out of date by like next week. So buy a resonable computer for like 1k, and keep upgrading it.
 
you can do way better for the price, i looked into my dream rig on newegg(i7 950 about half the price of a 975, 3 gtx 285's, evga classified, corsair 1kw, full watercooling, and a custom mountain mods cube) was around 3.5 grand
edit: and if you want, i could put up a list of what would be a better computer

Most of the games dont have multi GPU support so I think the 3 way SLI gtx 285 will outperform GTX 295 in SLI

and once you add liquid cooling to your build you can overclock to great extents much more than you will ever need so need to go with one of the extreme its a waste of money its 5 times the price but the performance increase wont even be twice once bot are overclocked

And you should go for liquid cooling which about which I dont know much about so i would like to ask one of the members to give you a proper setup

build our own for $3000, then next year upgrade for about $1000 , the year after upgrade for another $1000, repeat. or rather than 12 months periods, follow Moore's Law for an even bigger increase in performance between computer builds (18 months).

I can guarantee that the $1000 upgrade next year will make it much faster than this $10k computer.

If you are counting on long term upgrading cycles then he would have to go with AMD:D

I would have to agree with gamerman4, keep upgrading your computer every 8/10 months you will be more than happy with your computer.

Also spending $10,000 on a computer is quite a lot, do you work on computers (Paid Job)?
 
Why did you re-word your statement and then post it again? There is an edit button below each of your posts if you need to modify them.
 
yes but the one i posted is made using s-ips instead of the much worse tn+film that the other monitor is made of. im currently using a 17" NEC with a 22" asus hd monitor next to it. there is no contest for quality.

Ok thanks for the info :good:
but what about the liquid cooling system can give him a link to one:D
 
well why spend 4k on a computer that can process beautiful images if you can't see them except through a crappy tn screen? its better to spend money where its gonna matter.
 
wow 10k budget for a computer? are you pulling a joke on us? just playin but i agree with everyone else just spend around 3k and keep upgrading every year, it will be waaaay better.
