currently, AMD athlon 64 "hammerclaw", with the nForce 4 chipset, a loaded board made by gigabyte, ati x800 AGP. 1 GB DDR2 or PC1066 RDRAM, RDRAM being the first choice. scsi array, maxtor atlas 15k's, adaptec u320 controller. just get a great cpu fan, AMD's latest runs hot and can get fried.

There is already a newer and better ATI card out, the X850 Platinum Edition.
Rare as hen's teeth though...

asus a8n SLI motherboard
2 geforce 6800 ultra pci express cards in sli mode

I would say...the computer I just built hehe.

Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe
2gb PC3200
Gigabyte Rocket Pro cpu cooler
dual XFX 6800 GT 256mb
(on-board 8-channel audio)
2x 80gb WD SATA
1x 250gb 16mb buffer Maxtor SATA
Aspire X-Alien aluminum server (blue)
matching Aspire keyboard/optical mouse

I didn't see the point in spending $1200 on just video cards, so I went with the GT's and not the Ultras. Also, I didn't see much point in getting 4gb RAM and got 2gb instead (after building the system an checking everything out, my RAM never fills up anyway). Having 8-channel audio on the motherboard kinda negates the need to get an Audigy of any kind, at least in my mind. And I'm pretty happy with the performance of the hard drives that I purchased.

Hey I wouldn't go with the prescott. :hotbounce

 

[tbrunt3]

Best gamming system this is easy !

1 Falcon Northwest Mach V
2 Alienware ALX

 

[crazy_comp_dude]

You Need the 2 Geforce 6800 Ultra and 2 160 GB Hard drives and 2 Gigs of Ram! and a AMD Athlon processor and you got your self one sweet rig!

I totally agree with morgstormhammer. Unfortunately, my friend just blew hundreds of dollars for x800 Pro on ebay. He didn't ask me for opinions in advance. I just said the best card is ATI. And he's looking for a 680W PSU. Talk about overkill. Can't wait for him to sell me those parts for real cheap when he gets bored of them.

For me, I would just get an AMD64 s939, 3000+, 1gig ram, same ol' maxtor hd and lg dvd burner. Above average air cooling. All in black. As for video, the most-bang-for-the-buck would be 6600GT. Not very behind of 6800 or x800 in benchies, but for HALF the price. Still, 6600GT isn't worth two hundred bones to me.

If I were to build the ultimate gaming machine, I'd just pick up Xbox, PS2, etc. And Xbox2 is coming out later this year. PS3 next year. All in the comfort of a recliner or sofa. Online? Yep. No BSOD's and drivers to deal with.

Wha...?
BTW this thread is very old, don't go looking for computer suggestions here D:.

okay ultimate computer, right now id say the following:

intel core i7 extreme 965 or the core 22 extreme qx9770, prolly the 9770
any kind of x58 board for teh i7 and for the 9770 a higher end x48 board
3 ati 4890's
ram, uh ddr3 1600 is the best for those boards, capacity depends on how much u need, so id say 4 gigs or more should be fine

and thats my take, q2 2009, top gaming computer
