I wanna know whitch is the best PC if i want to play a lot of games without any problem. I got a laptop and is so damn slow, i wanna buy the best that money can buy. Help, please!
 
2500k is the same performance in games as the 2600k. You can OC the 2500k at least as far as the 2600k, so why spend the extra on the processor. Save it and spend for RAM or GPUs.
 
If I had no price range, here's what i'd consider. I want to clarify that this is to answer your question of "best", as I think you are aiming to know what the most beefy parts to have are. I don't believe the average gaming setup requires anything near this kind of madness.

-Lian li pc-p80 "armorsuit"
-EVGA 3-way or 4-way sli classified
-Intel i7 990x(970/975 would definitely be adequate though)
-Crossfired 6970's or sli'd gtx580's
-Corsair AX1200
-Asus Xonar Xense
-Pioneer bdr-206
-120g corsair force
-2 tb western digital cav black or samsung spinpoint
-Corsair dominator 12gb
-Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
-Liquid cooling
-Power strip with surge protector

Russ, for "ultimate", you could do much better:

2 x Intel Xeon X5690

EVGA Classified SR-2 270-WS-W555-A2

48GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600MHz

4 x GTX580 Quad SLI + GTX590 physx

Cooler Master ATCS 840

2 x SilverStone ST1500

6 x 1TB OCZ Colossus LT Striped array

Asus Xonar Essence ST

Liquid cooling loop

But let's be serious, unless you have more money than sense, you would never get anything like that. @OP, some sort of budget and a use would be nice to make a realistic system for you...
 
Aren't Xeon's for workstations/servers? I recommended single gpu's because I consider them to be more stable than dual's, although dual gpu cards are independently more powerful. That board is a god among men. 48gb of ram? What on earth will use 48gb?

They still crunch 1's and 0's, and they do it better than the i7's do. What they are designed for is moot, they just aren't the best option for a general home user because of price and because of the other components, which again, are more expensive, and have different form factors to the standard computer and are full of features that the average user won't use (dual-CPU's, up to 48GB RAM, 7 PCIe slots @ 8/8/8/8/8/8/8 etc)

I did put single GPU cards - 4 x GTX580's in quad SLI, with the dual GPU card, the 590, there purely for Physx

And for the memory, the average user and the average gamer, nobody, but then what game would use 12GB of memory?
 
Is there a big difference in performance depending on which card is used for physx? I would think a gt450 or gtx460 would be fine for that.
