Graphics card does matter a lot in gaming, Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480(3 GB) is the best one.
Don't buy Radeon HD, it sucks. NVIDIA is the best....
Processor: Intel Core i7 980X
RAM: 3 or 4 GB
Board: Gigabyte X58 UD5
Others specs. i think does not matter much
Radeon sucks? Their cards are still superior in performance to Nvidia's. They come in 2 or 4gb capacity, and it would take 2 or 3 gtx480's to match them. In the laptop realm, nothing beats 2 gtx480's though- Radeon still hasn't made an equal competitor.

What's the budget? There's no definition of "best of the best" computers. I'm sure you can easily build a computer into the $10,000+ range if you wanted to (quad xenon processors for workstation, 4 way SLI for gaming, 16GB of ram, RAID 0 SSDs etc etc).

What are you on about? For i7-980X, you want triple channel RAM, so 3GB or 6GB or 12GB or whatever. There are better X58 mobos than UD5. how can you say Radeon HD sucks? Could you answer please?

i7 930M is mobile CPU. 930 is desktop version. GPU in that range you'd be looking at HD 5870/GTX480

I don't know shorts like GPU and GTX. what are those?
A GPU is a graphics processing unit..aka your video card or graphics card. GTX is part of the naming scheme used by nvidia when naming some of there cards. A GTX480 is a type of video card made by nvidia.

$2000 is a great budget. give me a minute here to find some stuff for you
cpu
motherboard
ram
hdd
psu or psu
case nobody ever seems to recommend this one but i think it looks pretty awesome :good:
heatsink
gpu or gpu or gpu i'd go with either the 5870 or 5970 personally.
with the xfx psu and the 5870, total is $1500 which gives you plenty of room for an ssd if you want.
$2000 budget.

The best of the best.. a 980x with phase change, 24gb of ram, a shitload of ssds and hard drives, 4 gtx 480s, 4 more phase change units for the gpus, and giant power supply or two. Lol

If you want to save 700 bucks, i'd get the AMD phenom II x6 1090 black edition cpu for 300. 2tb hd's, 12x optical, full tower case, 1 or 2 5970's, gigabyte ud7 mobo, 1000w psu, and some good cooling are a few ideas. Research though man until you find out what you want in each component, and then you can make your mind up a bit better. Read specs thoroughly.

1. For the best, you wouldn't get a 980x, you would get dual Xeons
2. Memory should be triple channel, and much more than 4GB for "the best"
3. Regarding the motherboard, see point 1
4. Back up reasoning for "Radeon sucks" other than fanboyism? I know alot of people on here, myself included, use ATi and have no problems doing anything...
5. Other specs do matter. Power supply matters more than anything, the choice of hard drive(s) matters a lot, cooling and cases matter a lot.
Phenom II x6 is pointless for a gaming rig. No games utilize hex core fully yet, and when they do Thuban will be outdated.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are better deals, places money could be saved etc, that rig was only thrown up fairly quickly. However, it will do every single thing that you want, and will do it very, very quickly

Is it possible to 'Tri-Fire' via a 5870 with 1 5970?
Edit: I'm reading that you can X-fire any 2 ATI cards but that the cards will automatically be set to the clock speed that is the slower of the 2 cards. Does that sound right?
