High End Gaming Build ~ 1000 $
Every gamer's dream? Right? Except if you don't like those 70-80 FPS and you want more even if human eye cannot detect the difference... This build is capable of running all the games on maximum details on 1080p and most games on maximum on 1440p, also some games could be played on higher resolutions but you'll need to lower the details or do a SLI for more performance and VRAM. Alternative is to replace GTX 970 with GTX 980 for some 230 bucks more.

Enthusiastic Gaming Build ~ 3000 $
Well, if you don't want any limitation in anything you are going to do with your PC... this is the case. You will be able to play any game on 4K on maximum details, because you have Radeon R9 295x2, the fastest on the planet for gaming on high resolutions. And that's not everything, you actually have 2 of those

"I am crazy" Gaming Build ~ 18 000 $
Or you are crazy or you're going to make another prequel of Lord Of The Rings...
Silmarilion for example. I don't know even if this is possible to be compatible ASUS GTX Titan X is around 1800 bucks, and you have four of them, for some reason it didn't count into final price.

You noticed that I didn't used K series of processors (Until the Enthusiastic Gaming Build) as IMHO you don't need to overclock to play regularly. The difference between some 5-10 FPS (in higher rates, I am talking) is not noticeable.

Thank you for reading

I might have enough money for your 18000 Bucks Build next year, but with a standard SSD Drive, not with PCIE.

What do you think about this one?: http://www.hitech-gamer.com/en/Ultimate-Gamer-PC/GAMER-PC-ULTIMATE-SNAKE-EATER-V4.html

With external Water Cooler

My build is better

 

[Secondmineboy]

Yeah, i see.

How do you plan to keep the GPUs cooled ?

4 Titan X with air cooling could be a bit loud as well.

I know you'll said that, I am was tired of searching Antec's or NZXT cooling kits to add. It's always good choice to add a cooling systems when SLI or Crossfire, because of nearness of GPUs. But anyway, I will not buy it even if I have that amount of money

 

[Secondmineboy]

Maybe ill get the PC i posted a link too earlier, but im not really sure yet

Why do you need 4 Titan X?

 

[Secondmineboy]

Im not sure

But for a 4 K or multiple 4K Screens you need some GPU Power, or even worse 5k Screens.

And also imagine: There will be like 8K Screens upwards in the next years

 

[Secondmineboy]

Or ill go with this one: http://www.hitech-gamer.com/en/Xtreme-Gamer-PC/GeForce-GTX-Battlebox-IV.html

Double Titan X Cards.

And there will be really powerful new GPUs coming from NVIDIA next year by the way

IMHO, there is really no need for gaming at more than 4K, even 4K is a lot... Always care about a quality, not a quantity
This one is really nice http://www.hitech-gamer.com/en/Xtreme-Gamer-PC/GAMER-PC-NANODOM-V9.html for that

 

[Secondmineboy]

Also a good compy from them

But i need some Cores for VMs and stuff.

I think they also do personalized builds as well.

So the one i posted has an 8-Core i7 and 2 Titan X, middle range price.

And i would like to have something out of the PC for some years, so i do not want to change all the parts after like 2 years.

And i also never did. So the danger of breaking something is there.

 

[BoraMurdar]

For example i7 4790K can handle anything you throw on it with it's cores and threads. Buying high end parts of that price range will last and will be capable more than you think. Take example Radeon 7970 GHZ edition, it's a capable card and almost 3 years old now.
Having those high end components you will not notice a difference having a r9 295x2 or Titan X with our regular use. Or having i7 5960x or i7 4790K. Differences would be if you do some synthetic test or you do something really uncommon for a home user.
