If you had the chance to make the best PC for gaming, what would your specs be?

[karamazovmm]

for what purpose the pc would serve?

[Mighty]

gaming mostly

[karamazovmm]

a simple combination of an unlocked cpu, 2x top of the line gpus, 1 512gb ssd, 1 larger storage HDD, 3x monitors, its by far not rocket science

gaming machines are the most boring thing, you can't use mobos with 4 cpu sockets, that support more than 256gb of ram, special enterprise class pcie ssd, 12 core cpus...

Simple

Intel i7 4960x
X79 motherboard
32gb DDR3 2400 MHz
1TB Crucial M500
2x3TB Western Digital drives in Raid 1 (3TB usable space but offers data redundancy)
2x GTX 780 in SLI
Custom Water Cooling (Swiftech Apogee Drive II + MCR240 Rad with Red + 240 rad Norprene Tubing with anti kink coils
Corsair 750D (smaller version of the 900D)
Seasonic Platinum 1000W
Windows 7 Ultimate
Blur ray Reader/Burner

Sleeved cable extensions for front panel audio / fans / usb / 8 pin EPS / 24 pin ATX / and PCIe cables as well for the GPUs.

High quality fans blah blah

boring, you should have used raid 5 on some 1tb m500

and why HDD, I should have removed that from mine as well

HDD give larger capacity in a single drive also many people dont realize this but to many sata devices can kill even high end PSUs when they over draw on the 5v and 3.3v rails I know as Ive killed 3 PSUs that way.

Thus the 3TB drives. maximum storage space / reliability with a good warranty along with data retention in case of failure.

Not all raid issues are fully worked out with SSDs yet. And considering I am using a 1050W 80+ GOLD PSU with an ASRock X79 Fatal1ty Champion I can tell you right now this board has alot of sata ports yet hilariously enough it does not support staggered spinup of sata devices. so keeping sata devices to a minimum while maximizing performance and space is the way to go. Depends on the user though.
