Well, thats a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a computer, but I guess if you've got the money then go for it. I'd strongly consider one of the PSU's on this page: http://www.pcpower.com/products/power_supplies/max-performance/

Make sure its a quality psu, with at least 86 amps on the 12+ rails.

Any of the Turbo-Cool 1kW+ PSUs will do, as will the Corsair HX1000 and Silverstone Strider ST1000.

i have chosen to go for the
ENERMAX Revolution 85+ 1250W SLI Power Supply (might get the 1050watt got to shop around a bit yet)

hmm i wonder what i could do with $4000 ... sure won't be buying a computer with it lol. Good luck with the power supply though hehe

The only bad thing is that your 4k usd computer will be worth 500dollars or so in a few years. Its sad how these things happen.

 

[Tritton]

by the way it's $5.697.52
the 4k is in pounds

 

[Spyder_1386]

Oh yea my bad. I guess that makes you lose out even more though yea?

IMO build a cheap quad machine for now, and wait until later this year to spend 4k usd on a 32 nm system.

IMO it's seriously not worth it spending tha much on a computer.

The intel Extreme processors are never worth it. Just get the i7 920 and OC it. And as if 6GB isn't plenty of RAM, although going to 12GB I don't see as nearly as much of a waste of money as the i7 965. The SSDs I don't think are worth it either. Just raid some nice hard drives if you wan't performance on the storage side I reckon. Dual GTX 295's could be justified maybe if you have a 30" monitor (or more than one) but not otherwise I doubt.

But I mean it's your money and what you do with it is up to you. I'm just saying I don't think it's worth it. And as others have said it's value is going to drop severly over the years.
