CPU - core i7 980X would definately be faster
RAID 0 SSD drive will be faster than VelociRaptor

Yeah, I went a bit mad with the AMD stuff... :L still, I wouldn't complain if this came to me in the post one day

I would go with the 8 Core Xeon X7560
and 128Gb of RAM

Insane. Forst off, it would cost like, £50,000! And aren't the Xeons and extreme amounts of RAM for servers? iwasn't exactly clear but I meant it for a PC!

 

[jarlmaster47]

why the 8 core xeon?? get the 12 core xeon!!!!

He is talking about a 128k SSD not system RAM. The 128k SSD is $3-400.

There is no 12 core xeon....or 8 core for that matter...

The only 8/12 core processors out at the moment are the magny-cours line from amd.

So there! No really guys, lets forget about the Xeons, OK? otherwise we run the risk of becoming Mac Pro enthusiasts :O

I think this can go in the overkill category.

I do have a question...do you actually have 7500 or are you just creating a thread for kicks? Somewhat hard to tell..either way 7500 is far overkill to put into a single system.

Not very optimized there :/

Fastdude, all that chart shows is that modern GPU's bottleneck modern CPU's

It seemed more like a dream PC kind of thread and of course having spare RAM

why the 8 core xeon?? get the 12 core xeon!!!!

Please post the link of a 12 core xeon?

I assume he did it just for giggles because of the it

To say it in the third person, yes "he did"

Oh. Sorry. Should've searched

 

[bomberboysk]

Wrong section anyhow to a degree..

That would be a cool computer. Everything would probably load in like a split second maybe. If only I could afford it.....lol
